What's It Mean?
///////////////////////////////
Perfect (*adhesive, *notch) Binding/Bound: Soft type binding type that secures pages and cover together with glue at the spine (square backed). Stereotype paperback - think telephone directory or paperback novel.

Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
Many flat storage solutions can be bound directly into a hardbound book spine. To allow to items to be placed within, extra material is added to the spine. General ideas include envelope or sleeve of varying material, photo or document display page or CD/DVD keeper page. Budgetary restrictions commonly place these grouped together at the beginning or end of a book next to the end pages. However, they may be placed at intervals or wherever they are required - except between odd and the next consecutive even page (front to back on one sheet of paper).

Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
Publishing electronically also opens up a new world of possibilities! No longer do you have to produce a single manuscript and call it done. Is there a format that supports video great, another that does links better and a third you love, but only supports formatting like bold, italics, and underline? Gregath can tackle the job of producing manuscripts tailored to each electronic format for you, or provide support to allow you to confidently to it yourself.

Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
If not already active in the online community concerning your subject matter - become active: Post to blogs, social network, supply reviews, offer opinions and reference or link lists, and other activities to 'become known'. Never make your activity feel like it is only being completed so you can have "free" advertising, but never forget to include your book title, a link, etc. so interested people can follow a breadcrumb trail.

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////
Trying to get comfortable with Windows and Office 7 may be something you care to put off. However version 8 is right around the corner and it doesn't show any signs of reverting to older formats you may be more comfortable in. Do yourself a favor - if you've not already done so: view provided "how to" - maybe even seek it out online. Set aside some dedicated time for no pressure "hide and seek" - what are things the older program does you use that you haven't been able to find yet? It may not get you ready for 8, but you'll be a better computer user and that computer will work better for you!
