Jenny E. Heller '01, managing editor of the guide and a former Crimson executive, says that the format of the guide was revamped after last spring, resulting in a later publication date.
"Those were our original due dates because we thought we were making a guide," Heller says. "But those changed when we wanted to make it more journalistic."
Heller adds that the editors of the guide, realizing their first experience creating a book might hold some surprises, did not set rigid deadlines to accommodate their inexperience.
"This is a really big job and there were too many cooks," Avery says. "At one point, Peggy [T. Lim '01, the key organizer of the guide] realized they needed to refocus and reorganize."
Heller says the bulk of the guide's $10,000 budget has come from advertisements, though the Trust and WLP will also be kicking in funds.
The Trust was an early supporter of the guide, and the book's organizers were able to receive funding without having to formally apply to the Trust for funding.
Avery says the Trust has not given the guide any funds as of yet, but will write a check once the book is printed.
