The first proof copy was printed on 13 June 2008. It is 215 A4 size pages,  660 illustrations, and full colour throughout printed on a silk finish page.  1000 copies were printed.

The book was published on 2 October 2008, and was first available at a book launch at the school.

The book is printed and bound in what is called 'Perfect Bound' style, with a softback cover which is a thick board, though not quite what you would call hardback.  It then has a wrap around book jacket which gives it a crisp, professional finish.  It was printed by HPE Print in Pickering.

The book was originally on sale from school at £15, (£19 if postage and packing required). It is not intended to make a profit on the book - only to cover costs and allow for some stock to be retained to satisfy requests over the years. I am not sure if any copies remain available.

The book upload

I have uploaded the entire book in chapters for people to browse. As a compromise to keep file size to a minimum and download times down, I have reduced the quality of the photos considerably. You can get better quality pictures by looking at the photos in the photo gallery, or of course by buying the book - where photos are printed at high quality!
