The other thing to consider is that if you want to include colour, make 
smarter use of colour.  Assuming 2-up printing on a copy-shop A3 laser 
printer, for every single page in colour there's an opposite page that 
can be in colour for no extra cost.

If you paginate issue zero, there are four 2-up spreads in which both 
halves are in colour, but nine where only one half makes use of the 
colour, leaving just three spreads which are entirely black-and-white.

When the time comes I may be able to help with short-run production in 
the UK.

Definitely.

All the best
