    Montana Tech Library Digital Commons @ Montana Tech Graduate Theses & Non-Theses Student Scholarship Fall 2019 Book Self-Publishing Best Practices Erica Jansma Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.mtech.edu/grad_rsch Part of the Communication Commons Book Self-Publishing Best Practices by Erica Jansma A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of M.S. Technical Communication Montana Tech 2019 ii Abstract I have taken a manuscript through the book publishing process to produce a camera-ready print book and e-book. This includes copyediting, designing layout templates, laying out the document in InDesign, and producing an index. My research is focused on the best practices and standards for publishing. Lessons learned from my research and experience include layout best practices, particularly linespacing and alignment guidelines, as well as the limitations and capabilities of InDesign, particularly its endnote functionality. Based on the results of this project, I can recommend self-publishers to understand the software and distribution platforms prior to publishing a book to ensure the required specifications are met to avoid complications later in the process. This document provides details on many of the software, distribution, and design options available for self-publishers to consider. Keywords: self-publishing, publishing, books, ebooks, book design, layout iii Dedication I dedicate this project to both of my grandmothers. I grew up watching you work hard, sacrifice, trust, and love with everything you have; it was beautiful; you are beautiful; and I hope I can model your example with a fraction of your grace and fruitfulness. Thank you for loving me so well.

  • New Traveling Exhibition from the Guild of Book Workers with 50 New Book Artists' Work Form Across the Country
    New Traveling Exhibition from the Guild of Book Workers with 50 New Book Artists’ Work form Across the Country May 24, 2021 Contact Person: Jeanne Goodman Contact Email: [email protected] The Guild of Book Workers traveling exhibition will travel from June 2021 to September 2022. The opening and close dates for “Wild/LIFE” should be confirmed with each venue before travel and to check local public health precautions in place due to COVID-19. EXHIBITION “Wild/LIFE: Guild of Book Workers Triannual Exhibition”, June 2021 to September 2022 DESCRIPTION This exhibition features approximately 50 works by members of the Guild of Book Workers, an book artists organization that promotes interest in and awareness of the tradition of the book and paper arts by maintaining high standards of workmanship, hosting educational opportunities, and sponsoring exhibits. Members were invited to interpret the theme of “wildlife” in any way they wish, be it literal or abstract, humorous or serious. In a biological sense, wildlife describes the myriad of creatures sharing this planet, interacting and adapting, all connected to each other and their environment. "Wild" also describes an untamable essence that survives despite the constraints of society and culture. As craftspeople, knowledge of materials and keen observation of how they behave (and often how they refuse to comply) is an integral part of the practice of book making, and a reminder of how traditional bookbinding materials originate in nature. The exhibition opens at the American Bookbinders Museum in San Francisco, CA in June 2021, and will continue to travel to five additional venues across the country, closing in the fall of 2022.

  • AVAS Newsletter 2016
    AVON VALLEY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER December 2016 Editorial This year is a swan song for me as this twelfth edition of the Newsletter will be my last one. I feel that I have had a good innings and that it is time to pass baton on to someone who will bring a fresh vision to the task. As I stated last year there is a distinct move away from excavation work in archaeology and this trend is continuing, but our work with resistivity techniques to do non-invasive searches, supplemented by the use of Magnetometry, using some equipment borrowed from Bournemouth University has proved a revelation. For those who wish to know more and see some of the results, then attendance at our Members Evening in January is a must! We really are discovering more and disturb less! My last edition of our newsletter, like a number of previous copies is taking in some practical archaeological topics and attempting to stimulate members to seek out even more interesting places based upon the travels of a number of our members. Our blog site continues to flourishing. So once again, our thanks go to Mike Gill for his continuing work in keeping the news of activities and plans of AVAS available to our members and the general public at large. So let us all support them with any useful news or other input that we, as members, might come up with. N.B. The address on the web for our blogsite is at the bottom of this page. I hope that this edition of the Newsletter will be both stimulating and entertaining and wish you all great year of archaeology in 2017.

  • Researching Stonehenge: Theories Past and Present
    Parker Pearson, M 2013 Researching Stonehenge: Theories Past and Present. Archaeology International, No. 16 (2012-2013): 72-83, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ai.1601 ARTICLE Researching Stonehenge: Theories Past and Present Mike Parker Pearson* Over the years archaeologists connected with the Institute of Archaeology and UCL have made substantial contributions to the study of Stonehenge, the most enigmatic of all the prehistoric stone circles in Britain. Two of the early researchers were Petrie and Childe. More recently, colleagues in UCL’s Anthropology department – Barbara Bender and Chris Tilley – have also studied and written about the monument in its landscape. Mike Parker Pearson, who joined the Institute in 2012, has been leading a 10-year-long research programme on Stonehenge and, in this paper, he outlines the history and cur- rent state of research. Petrie and Childe on Stonehenge William Flinders Petrie (Fig. 1) worked on Stonehenge between 1874 and 1880, publishing the first accurate plan of the famous stones as a young man yet to start his career in Egypt. His numbering system of the monument’s many sarsens and blue- stones is still used to this day, and his slim book, Stonehenge: Plans, Descriptions, and Theories, sets out theories and observations that were innovative and insightful. Denied the opportunity of excavating Stonehenge, Petrie had relatively little to go on in terms of excavated evidence – the previous dig- gings had yielded few prehistoric finds other than antler picks – but he suggested that four theories could be considered indi- vidually or in combination for explaining Stonehenge’s purpose: sepulchral, religious, astronomical and monumental.

  • The Fifteenth Mount Haemus Lecture
    THE ORDER OF BARDS OVATES & DRUIDS MOUNT HAEMUS LECTURE FOR THE YEAR 2014 The Fifteenth Mount Haemus Lecture ‘Almost unmentionable in polite society’? Druidry and Archaeologists in the Later Twentieth Century by Dr Julia Farley Introduction Between 1950 and 1964, a major programme of archaeological excavations were carried out at Stonehenge, directed by archaeologists Richard Atkinson and Stuart Piggott. The excavations were not published in full until after Atkinson’s death (Cleal et al. 1995), but Atkinson penned a popular account of the site in 1956, entitled simply Stonehenge, which was aimed at “the ordinary visitor” (Atkinson 1956, xiv). The book was, in part, intended to dispel once and for all the popular notion that there was a direct connection between ancient Druids and Stonehenge. Atkinson went so far as to write that “Druids have so firm a hold upon the popular imagination, particularly in connection with Stonehenge, and have been the subject of so much ludicrous and unfounded speculation, that archaeologists in general have come to regard them as almost unmentionable in polite society.” (ibid., 91). This quote is notable for two reasons. Firstly, it highlights the often fraught relationships between archaeologists and Druidry in the mid-twentieth century and, secondly, it was soon to be revealed as demonstrably untrue. At the time that Atkinson was writing, the last major academic treatment of the ancient Druids was Thomas Kendrick’s The Druids, published in 1927. But a decade after the publication of Atkinson’s book, at a time of heightened tensions with modern Druid movements over rights and access to Stonehenge, two major academic monographs on ancient Druids were published (Piggott 1966, Chadwick 1966), as well as a scholarly work on ‘Pagan Celtic Britain’ (Ross 1967).

You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net Title: Things To Make Author: Archibald Williams Release Date: January 11, 2005 [EBook #14664] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THINGS TO MAKE *** Produced by Don Kostuch Transcriber's Note: If the pdf version of the book is viewed using facing pages with even numbered pages on the left, you will see a close approximation of the original book. Notations of the form "(1,650) 2" appear at the bottom of some pages; they are probably printer's references for assembling to book. The text only version is of limited use because of the many figures used. I recommend the pdf or rtf versions. Some of the projects should be approached with care since they involve corrosive or explosive chemicals, electricity and steam boilers. Do not use lead solder, particularly on cooking utensils. Whether you simply want to travel back into the mind of a young boy at the beginning of the twentieth century, or want to try your hand at some interesting projects in carpentry, machinery, kites and many other areas, have fun. The following four pages have definitions of unusual (to me) terms used frequently in the text. Terms Batten - Narrow strip of wood.

  • Provenance: What Is It and Why Do We Care?
    Provenance: What is it and why do we care? What is it? PROVENANCE: “The pedigree of a book’s previous ownership. This may be clearly marked by the owner’s name, arms, bookplate, or evidence in the book itself; or it may have to be pieced together from such outside sources as auction records or booksellers’ catalogues.” --John Carter, ABC for Book Collectors (Oak Knoll Press, 1998) Why do we care? “Recorded ownership in a particular book at a particular time can tell us something about both owner and text; it can allow us to make deductions about the tastes, intellectual abilities or financial means of the owner, and it can show the reception of the text at different periods of history. If the book is annotated, we can see further into that world of private relationship between reader and text, and the impact of books in their contemporary contexts.” --David Pearson, Books as History (British Library, 2008) What are the common types of provenance? “There are numerous ways in which people have left traces of their ownership in books; they have written their names on the title page, they have pasted in printed bookplates, they have put their names or arms on the binding, they have used codes and mottos.” --David Pearson, Books as History (British Library, 2008) How do we explore? Each copy of a particular title has its own history. If a book, such as Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, is published in 1776, then each surviving individual copy of that work has its own 240- plus year history.

  • Archaeology Activity Book
    Archaeology Activity Book Illustrations: Heather Brindza Text: Danielle Ellis Layout: Rebecca Conway Appalachian Forest Heritage Area (AFHA) is a non-profit, grassroots organization that promotes economic and community development by linking central Appalachian forest history, culture, natural history, products and forest management into a multi-state heritage tourism initiative. Monongahela National Forest hosts AFHA-sponsored AmeriCorps service at forest sites that enhance natural resources and tourism and connect local communities. The Eastern National Forests Interpretive Association (ENFIA) is a non-profit association that aids and promotes the historical, scientific, and educational activities of the USDA Forest Service. This activity book was made possible through grants and partnership agreements with AFHA AmeriCorps, ENFIA, and USDA Forest Service. Archaeology is the study of material culture left behind by people from the past. Material culture are things created or used by people, like stone tools, a glass bottle, or even an entire building. Archaeologists look for archaeological sites to try to answer questions about the past. A site is where artifacts, features, or ecofacts are grouped together in an area. This means people were in that area in the past, and it’s up to the archaeologist to figure out what they were doing there. Sometimes archaeologists find things that can’t be easily collected or are part of the environment past peoples used. These things are called features. Features are often large, like the foundation of a house, or difficult to collect from the site, like an ashy campfire ring. Feature example: campfire ring Artifacts are things created or used by past peoples.
