<div class="textbox" style="width:650px"><em><b>Mishkan T'filah</b></em>
<p>We handled the typesetting and production for the Reform
Movement's new congregational prayerbook, <em>Mishkan
T'filah</em>. We began work in the summer of 1999. After producing nine preliminary versions, the project finally went on press in the summer of 2006. <em>Mishakn T'filah </em>is now available in regular and large print format; in weekday or Shabbat or combined weekday-Shabbat editions; with transliteration or
without; in a gift edition or regular binding -- 10 variations in all. The most popular editions are already in their third printing.</p>
