I think the way he has been running his print exchanges is: 1. Both A4 and Letter formats allowed. I don't think they're matted. 2. Enclose a data sheet. 3. Maximum 10 participants with 3 spare in case any of the first 10 don't make it for whatever reason. 4. They're first sent by all contributors to a central administrator (ie Tom) who then redistributes them back to each of the contributors. 5. Each contributor sends a pre-paid UPS box (or some equivalent), inside the one which they used for the initial shipment. This second box is used to ship the prints back to them. I had never participated in the past partly due to having to mess with pre-paid UPS boxes back from the US etc. With the European exchange, I propose that contributors outside the UK who don't want to or can't feasibly send an extra pre-stamped box send cash/UK stamps instead (limited to £ sterling, US$ and Euros) to cover return postage. The exchange co-ordinator can inform them of the cost of registered postage to their country. Their original box can be used to return the prints. Steve ... I don't want to take anything away from you. However, I regularly deal with the 3 currencies mentioned above. If you find dealing with these currencies a hassle, then I'm happy to be the co- ordinator if you like. (Or take the currency off your hands for £ at normal exchange rates without bank commission). Let's see how the first exchange pans out. Let's get the ball rolling. Please send a formal invite on-list with a deadline. Please sign me up. K2 Yahoo!
