Boekie 1 - done!

After a lot of sweating and swearing and dozens of needle pokes, I finally finished Boekie 1. I know there are several architectural mistakes, but hey, it's the first one, and I quite like it. It will contain Cheryl Penn's correspondence. I now need to (slowly) tackle Boekie 2 for other received mail. It will have to be quite different to accommodate all kinds of formats including A4 pages. Hmmm, I don't have a clear idea of what it should look like yet...
