You were writing about 15000 copies per
year of commercial edition, of which 6000 go
for export and 9000 consumed in the US.

Most of the US Gov print, you say, go to the military.

So it remains to estimate how many Britain prints

and how many are printed in other languages.
French? Russian? Japanese? Chinese??

The 9000 consumed in the US looks suprpisingly high to me.
Alex.
