We would like to thank everyone who has made Helvetica and the New York City Subway System such a phenomenal success.

Helvetica and the New York City Subway System is sold out. We printed 500 copies, 400 for sale with the remainder reserved for contributors, family and friends. We sold out those 400 copies on January 28th and then the 98 overs (including those slightly damaged) on February 11th.

We hope to find a publisher for a trade edition of the book. If that comes to pass we will be correcting and revising the book to take into account a few small errors that have been detected.

Sincerely yours,
Paul Shaw
