What’s It Mean?
///////////////////////////////
Brightness: The brilliance or light-reflection characteristic of paper (not necessarily related to its color or whiteness).
Brittle paper (in rebinding): Paper that breaks when folded or crumpled. We don't recommend regular rebinding this type of paper - we suggest visiting a conservator instead.
Buffered (Paper): Acid free and contains 2% calcium carbonate (or other compound) to act as a barrier to reduce future acid contamination.
* refers to a term not actively used at Gregath Publishing

Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Branch out in your PR efforts! Case study (Carrie Cook, VP/Webmaster Gregath Publishing): This summer I attended Conestoga 11 (Oklahoma's largest SF&F Literary convention - www.sftulsa.org). This was my vacation. I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy and several of my favorite authors would be presenting. This is not considered a "professional" event, but a fan convention. For the "gate fee", they had a full writer's workshop as well as classes on marketing, cover art, e-publishing, as well as lots of other fun stuff. I really enjoyed the weekend, petted the wild animals, met authors, editors, and other publishers as well as doing the "fan thing". After all of the positive vibes I soaked up over the weekend I came home ready to try lots of new things, including maybe even trying writing in this fun genera for periodicals - yes, they pay as well!
