Shlama all!
Let the record here at peshitta.org show that on this Resurrection Day (for many, not all), I have completed this task and sent all the necessary files to my publisher. It now falls to him and to our Proofreader in Chief to put it all together and come back with a camera ready layout pdf. From there it is bound.
The final stats on Mari/PEACE:
Approximate length: 900 pages
Footnotes amount: 1414
Extra features/articles: About 30, totalling about 300+ pages.
Electronic access to articles/translation: Currently under discussion. Stay tuned.
Approximate price: No final number yet, but if you will not hold me to it I think it is safe to say that, barring any unforseen ciricumstances beyond my control, Mari/PEACE should be under $60.
Here it is from my publisher's mouth:
Shlama Akhi Andrew,
Todah rabbah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wowzer... you definitely hit some big gears to get this done!!!!!!!!! <!-- s

OK, Shali is taking another quick peek over everything as we speak.
YHWH willing we'll be able to wrap up all pre-layout edits this week!!!
HALLELUYAH!!! YOFFI!!!
Blessings,
Baruch
The next announcement on this I make, YHWH willing, will be that Mari is officially publsihed and available for shipment.
QYAMTEH D'MARAN SAMAYACH!
