Paul,

Thanks much for the thoughts. I'm doing (it's done actually) a 
calendar through Lulu for my new IR group, various photographers, and 
am very pleased with the results . . however . . Lulu doesn't print a 
back page so I need to print a sheet with a who-done-what and glue it 
on.

I found some acid free adhesive and am trying to come somewhere near 
the color, slightly bluish white, of the paper stock so I'm 
considering Epson Watercolor paper, and the scrapbook paper also.

It will pump the price of the calendar but as long as I break even 
it'll be OK as this is personally a learning project, and a pretty 
fun one at that.

Thanks again

Jules
