Book Design and Publishing

The Story of BATUN—Baltic Appeal to the United Nations was published in 2018 by Estonian-born Sirje Okas Ainso.  BATUN is the Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian movement founded in the United States in the late 1960s, which main goal was to seek independence for the Baltic States and their membership in the United Nations.

The project required innovative solutions and patience and needed to be completed and published for the 100th birthday of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which represented a very tight deadline. The book consists of an eyewitness account documented by Sirje Okas Ainso, married to Dr. Heino Ainso 

(President of Batun from 1970-1972 and 1985-1988). 

The account is supported by many historical documents and original photos dating back to the ’60s. To digitize and restore the many letters and photos and 

to ensure that printing was even possible, was a tremendous undertaking.
