ALWAYS double check with your printer/publisher on every detail. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- What's It
Mean? -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Hard binding Spotlight #2 Adhesive binding: Soft or hard type binding. Pages held together by adhesive/glue, rather than any form or sewing or mechanical attachment (stapled). Adhesive binding - Double-Fan: Hard type binding. Pages held together by adhesive/glue, applied first while binding edge is fanned in one direction, and second as finned in the opposite direction - may be notched. Meets library binding standard: ANSI/NISO/LIB Z39.78 Back/Backing (see round): The binding process of dispersing the swelling of the spine of a rounded text block and shaping it into a shoulder on each side of the spine of a text block. Backing accommodates the thickness of the boards, and provides a hinge along which they can swing freely. Backing also helps to prevent the spine of the text block from collapsing into a concave shape over time. *Backbone (see spine): Center edge of a book perpendicular to and between its covers. *Backing up: Printing a sheet after one side has already been printed. Binding: Folded sheets (signatures) or single leaves (pages) secured on one edge (spine) and protected by a cover. Binding Edge:
Edge of
text block that is attached by
sewing or adhesive binding, etc. Book Block: Endpapers, text block and all other materials before hard or soft binding. * denotes a term that Gregath Publishing doesn't normally use. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Run across a word that

Captions can be informative, as well as add to the flavor of the book. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////// Do you think your project(s) can benefit from more information? Consider putting together a press/media kit. These can be sent to all media outlets, as part of a proposal to book stores, to those you are approaching for a book-related event, to bulk sale targets (such as a school system for children's books), etc. Don't prepare a press kit and reproduce it faithfully throughout your book promotion. If you get bad reaction to something, drop it or update it. If you keep getting the same questions, try to address them in future kits. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- /////////////////////////////// While there is good and bad that can be found with any software upgrade, did you know as an Microsoft Word user, the default file format changed between 2003 and 2007 versions? Fear not - if sharing files with someone who hasn't upgraded yet, be sure to "save as" a .doc format, rather than the default format. /////////////////////////////// Gregath Co. is pleased to present information that may be of help to authors and genealogists on a monthly basis in this format.
