	~~====Vendor====~~
	For 2011 - present we have purchased our con cooks from [https://www.shortrunprintingltd.com/ Short Run Printing, Ltd.]. Their pricing is decent as and they seem like a "mom & pop shop." They are very nice and friendly, very accommodating, and have top notch customer service.

	Most (but not all) years we get a call right before the books are supposed to ship because our large job broke their machines. They always still get our books to us on time. We have a loyalty to them and will stick with them as long as we can.

	~~====Lead Time & Pricing====~~
	Books will take approximately 2 weeks from date or order to arrive. Make sure to quote multiple possible quantities since apparently 200 books can make the difference of a business day's lead time which could mean an extra weekend to prep.

	~~The quotes on their webpage include shipping which is extremely convenient. Books + shipping generally work out to about $1.70/book.~~

	~~At this point in time, the largest job Short Run Printing will run is 2,500 books.~~
