ANTICIPATED DISTRIBUTION & SHIPPING PLAN
Of the 5,000 pages of the work The Linnaeus Apostles - Global Science & Adventure, six volumes are planned for publication and distribution during the first two quarters of 2008. Distribution to more than 100 countries will, however, take place continuously as each volume is completed. The first volumes to be ready will be the apostles' own texts in volumes two - seven, followed by volume one (INTRODUCTION). The heavily factual volume eight (ENCYCLOPÆDIA), which includes biographies, maps, a completely new bibliography as well as the entire search register for all the volumes, may be further delayed until later in the year 2008. One of the reasons for the delay is that the work on the bibliography with about 3,000 titles and the search register for more than 5,000 pages - that is tens of thousands of specific search words - demands a very great deal of work. Another reason is that, on request from many institutions and individuals, the IK Foundation is looking into the possibility of making the entire bibliography of the complete printed work and information about Linnaeus' apostles, together with a search facility on the Internet as an extra service free of charge at www.linnaeus.info. This would then be part of IK's continued endeavours to stimulate research and thought about the Linnaues Apostles and the world of Linnaeus.
