News from “Uncle Tefy”

We are putting the finishing touches on the manuscript of the new book “Uncle Tefy”. The text has been given to two professors in Malagasy here in Toliara to do the last corrections, and the negotiations with the printing house in Antananarivo are finished. We have got a good price for the 3000 copies we are going to print.

Tojo makes the last check on the pictures while using the pad he got as a gift from the company Otterbach in Rastatt in Germany where he had his training in July. This is of great help, and now we are able to do the layout in InDesign and PhotoShop instead of Microsoft Publisher and Adobe PDF as before. This will make a great difference when it comes to the quality of the print.

Our deadline for giving the manuscript to the printing house is August 23, and we hope to see the first test printing within the end of the month. At that time Sophie and Mparany will be present at the printing house to survey it.
