Hi Jonny B,
1000 pieces, supplied by 'photobox' (my son works there!).
Just supply your favourite quality snap!
Don't know cost but enjoyable to do in odd moments.
Apparently there is a jigsaw glue which when applied turns it into a permanent
hangable picture, will try that when we get back from NZ.

My fetish with geographic puns temporarily muzzled my initial reaction to the way cool Christmas gift you received from your son.  When you try the jig-saw glue I hope you will post another photo of the framed result!
