We do this because we know that books sell better with our marketing mix and, after all, we profit from every book sold. ONLY A FEW STEPS TO PUBLISHING 5 AUTOMATED TYPESETTING The structure of the block of your book, i.e. the interior, usually fol- lows certain standards the readers are familiar with. No matter how you have written your book, we have several tools that will help you during the publishing process to easily and quickly turn your manu- script into a correctly set book. You can select whether you & would prefer us to create the interior (book block) online or & would like to use a PDF document you have produced. Our online typesetting tool helps you to easily convert your manu- script into a printable, properly typeset book and eBook. This also applies to the conversion of an ePUB (eBook) into a printable book. So, if your book has only been available as an eBook so far, in just a few steps you can publish it as a printed edition, enabling you to reach out to the largest possible group of readers. Format of your manuscript Processing Publication Word document Easily create your interior Printable book (PDF) (book block) online • Paperback • Formatting interior • Hardcover PDF document • Typesetting interior • Word document for eBook ePUB document download and further • ePUB editing • Mobi Other text formats 6 AUTOMATED TYPESETTING TYPESETTING BY YOURSELF Typesetting If you prefer your own typesetting rather than an automated one, you have two options. The first is to download one of our design templates and format your text file according to the specifications given for the template. Here, we have already set up a structure and all you have to do is insert your content. Or, secondly you can design the interior of your book entirely by yourself, based upon the specifications for the structure of the book (available in our “Downloads”). Colored pages You can choose if you want your book to be black & white or in full color. Printing in full color is more expensive than black & white. Color pages may contain a bleed (trimming edge). Copyright page Each book must contain a copyright page (also called imprint) providing obligatory information about the book. This information is already included in our interior templates. You can find an example copyright page on our website. As you can automatically publish your book in three different output formats (paperback, hardcover and eBook), we recommend that all three related ISBNs be specified on the copyright page. TYPESETTING BY YOURSELF 7 PROFESSIONAL COVER DESIGN Design template or your own book cover? The choice is yours! We have numerous book cover templates in different styles at your disposal. You can select from various designs and adapt them to suit your individual wishes, e.g. by adding your own picture or by changing the colors and elements. A large selection of fonts are also available. Alternatively, tredition gives you the opportunity to upload your own personally designed book cover. 8 PROFESSIONAL COVER DESIGN The trim size of your book – again the choice is yours! By default, five book formats are available when using one of our cov- er templates.

  • Benefits of the Library Treasures Volume Considered
    Making treasures pay? Benefits of the library treasures volume considered K. E. Attar Senate House Library University of London [email protected] The past decade has seen the publication of numerous treasures books relating to the holdings of libraries of various sizes across several sec- tors, with more in progress at the time of writing. These glossy tomes are not cheap to produce. Apart from up-front payment of publication costs, to be recouped through sales, there is the cost of photography and staff time: selecting items to be featured, identifying and liaising with contribu- tors, writing, editing and proof-reading. Why do it? Are we on a bandwagon, keeping pace with each other because the time has come when not to have produced a treasures volume may suggest a library’s paucity of rare, valuable or significant items? If the aim is to stake a claim about status and holdings, how meaningful will treasures volumes be when we all have them? How much do they really demonstrate now, when in a sense they are a leveller: if a treasures volume features, say, one hundred items, a library with 101 appro- priate candidates can produce one just as well as a library with ten thousand items from which to choose. While only time will test the long-term value of the treasures volume in raising a library’s profile, creating such a book can be a positive enterprise in numerous other ways. This article is based on the treasures volume produced by Senate House Library, University of London, in November 2012.1 It reflects on benefits Senate House Library has enjoyed by undertaking the project, in the hope that the sharing of one library’s experience may encourage others.

On one hand, I am incredibly happy to see a brilliant and foundational work affordably back in print. On the other, I am a bit disgusted by the quality of the edition. The original edition of the English translation is a beautifully designed volume. The reissued edition features a blindingly white coated paper, and a puzzling insistence by Esri on using comically oversized Times New Roman typeface. The illustrations, however, have been better reproduced (and in some cases enhanced) from the earlier version. Apart from dealing with symbols, colors, and other graphic conventions, Bertin also discusses the uses of letters, labels, and visual hierarchies. Bildi Grafiks. Tempus Fugit.

The book was part of a project to redesign the calendar for the campus student film society into something readable and typographically coherent. This volume represents essentially the only book I could find on the subject of calendar design after many days of searching. It deals with novel arrangements, a dash of history, and a few interesting essays on the nature of time and representation.

  • More Info About Book Construction
    OVERVIEW OF BOOK SPREADS Why 32 pages? The “industry standard” for picture books is currently 32 pages. Why? It all comes down to the construction and printing of the book. 32 pages are generally the most economical when printing hardcover books. If you do see alternate sizes you’ll usually find them in increments of 8 or 16. (for examples 16, 24, 40 or 48 pages) I could go into all the details about why this is the standard, but if you’d like to learn more check out these links: more info about Book construction: http://editorialanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/10/basic-book-construction.html http://taralazar.com/2009/02/22/picture-book-construction-know-your-layout/ http://booksforkeeps.co.uk/issue/194/childrens-books/articles/process-creation-and-audience-the-32-page-picture-book It’s important to note though that current print-on-demand technologies and self-publishing platforms open the door for more flexibility and more potential to experiment with layout outside of “industry standards.” But, if you’re going the traditional routes or want to hook-in to existing structures and channels (such as bookstores and libraries) when self-publishing then you can expect to create a 32 page book similar to what you see on the adjacent page.
