Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
If you are considering a digital edition - whether as sole edition/format, or an alternate - do be sure to take advantage of at least some of the additional features you can use in an electronic edition.
///////////////////////////////
Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
Printed editions shouldn't be left out of the "bonus bonanza" electronic editions may have. Add cross-reference (web address or code for scanning) in printed editions for a gateway to bonus electronic material.
///////////////////////////////
Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
To look over an 8 week case study an no-nonsense check list of how to assist any event host in boosting marketing, foot traffic, and interest, read the article, How to Fill a Room by Ellen Cassedy (reprinted with permission). This is a great blueprint for every stop on a marketing tour or junket. However, for multiple local events, it would have to be adjusted, so as not to make friends and local contacts begin to tune you out.

Names of towns and how long they lived in each one
Age of spouse at death and how along ago that was

Much, Much, MORE!

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////
Are you someone who is finally getting comfortable with Microsoft Word? Do you not have access to Publisher, or not ready to learn its interface, but want some of the templates? Word isn't as easy to use to produce finished pieces, however, more templates are available to download from http://www.office.com - more FAX sheets, invoices, newsletters, calendars, etc.
