The 2027 and 2029 General Statutes each require printing of approximately 3,300 twenty-one-volume sets plus approximately 1,200 individual volumes, while the 2028 and 2030 Supplements each require approximately 3,000 three-volume sets. All materials must be produced and delivered within three calendar weeks for General Statutes and two calendar weeks for Supplements from receipt of final electronic pages.
