No problem at all. Thanks for staying at this.

Great! I now know that Luca has been creating illustrations by copying
existing letters and drawing missing letters. Luca or I should probably
help with that.

Looking at the translation, I see the subtitle:

Příběh o softwaru, skateboardech a malinové zmrzlině

For the protest page, could you also translate the signs in te text?:

## BIG SIGN: "Do your homework Mr. President and we will do ours!"
## TEACHER SIGN: "They are young + need the code!"
## MEDIUM SIGN: "Don’t wreck our tech!"

We will probably have to draw some new letters.

In general there are some aspects to the publishing:

- Evaluate publishers vs self-publishing
- Find sponsor(s) in case of self-publishing
- Get pre-orders
- Prepare for publishing, like ISBN code and colophon
- Create print-ready files

Matthias is the main contact to discuss these aspects. I added him in
CC to follow up.


I'm currently learning a lot on this process as I'm involved in
preparing for the Danish publication.

Besides the current Danish translation I'm working to support
translation of the book and get the Dutch translation done. I say this
to make clear that things might take a bit longer, but I'm willing to
help get the book printed.

Best,
Nico
