ALWAYS double check with your printer/publisher on every detail. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- What's It
Mean? -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// *Display type: Type used as
attention getters, larger than regular text - usually from 14-72 point size. See Serif
& Sans-Serif Drop Cap: A Capital letter, traditionally the first letter of a chapter/section, that is enlarged to "drop" below the text in the rest of the line. Example "U" to the right. Terms marked with an asterisk (*) are not generally used in our office. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Run across a word that

email us your word, term or phrase and we will see if we can shed some light on
the matter! /////////////////////////////// Anyone may procure their own ISBN, but many are hesitant to learn another new process. Gregath offers assistance in many ways. If ISBN has already been acquired, Gregath can take the publication, ISBN and user information and handle all the data entry for books in print and keeping up your ISBN registration. Services average $25.00 per single ISBN. If several need to be done at the same time, straight time can be utilized at $20.00/hour. This service is offered without the requirement that the ISBN be listed for sale in the Gregath catalog. However, if it is genealogy or history, we highly suggest taking advantage of this free service - use the ISBN contract. Gregath can also help acquire ISBN. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// The normal procedure for general manuscript preparation is as follows:
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// Gregath can take as much or as little of the load as the customer has budget for. Generally speaking, order fulfillment can be tailored to a given need. A light service package example: excel sheet of individual customers is provided for a "blast" (all books shipped at the same time) shipping through USPS Priority (tracked) mail from $6.00 to $12.00 per address - including actual shipping costs. Customer defined packages will be quoted, but basic per address service fee may be as low as $1.00 per mailed item. Gregath can warehouse all stock, take orders, ship, etc. but this type of service is ongoing, thus the charges are as well. *Editor's note - there are lots of options to hiring out this part of the self-published author's needs. For lower cost alternatives you may wish to check with local organizations that are fund raising. Just remember that today's customers may by tomorrow's book. Records need to also be kept well for books that don't arrive or are damaged, etc.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// Everyone, From: 1-13-12 post to Genealib elist. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// If shipping and receiving by more than one carrier, consider using a single program for tracking. We discovered http://www.usetrackthis.com/ in 2011. Just cut and paste your tracking numbers, select the shipping service and how you want to be notified. Seems simple and you can't beat the cost (free).
