[Hartwood] Book count: numbers!

[doerksen at island.net]

James suggested 6 quires of 4 sheets each, and we've been doing 4  
quires of 6 sheets each. That you are doing 14 signatures is amazing!  
Most of our books are 3" x 4 1/3", small enough for a pouch; yours are  
double, more journal size (Margarite is doing a few of this larger  
size, too).

Our calculations showed 140 of the smaller size would pack the tourney  
chest tight; with your larger size, 100 books total will make it that  
much fuller-looking! (1 journal size = 4 pocket size +/-)

Excellent work!
