We have not printed any Bibles during 1999. Although our two small-format Bibles sold out in the course of the year we did not reprint because we are trying to sell all the copies of our older editions first.
Some people prefer to wait for the new editions, however.
These are the likely reasons why the Czech Bible Society's distribution figures have fallen this year. A new typesetting for a slightly revised edition has been prepared. Our editor spent most of the year on this and on co-ordinating the work of our external colleagues who are finishing a new concordance to the Czech Ecumenical Translation. Both projects have been challenging in terms of time and cost. We have published only two major items during the year.
