Hi all - I thought that I'd just warn you before the bulk of you receive your 2009 Compendiums.
They are so fresh off the press that the ink has still not cured fully and is not yet totally permanent!!!
Wet or sweaty hands and fingers will REMOVE ink for a few weeks yet. Please be careful and handle them carefully for a while. Make sure that your hands are DRY and try not to rub the pages - especially near the edge of the page. Even rubbing with dry hands will remove ink if you try.
They'll cure - it's just that most full-colour commercial books that you buy have already been sitting for weeks or months on a shelf.
Enjoy!
