One of four reference books written for self-publishers and designers working in the print-on-demand world. This one covers the full range of prepress terminology — color, grayscale, typography, paper, PDFs, ISBNs, book construction, and more — with notes throughout on how general prepress principles apply specifically to POD platforms.
The glossary is alphabetical, but organized into discrete sections by subject so related terms can be read together. The 500 illustrations were created for the book — many are composites of multiple images. Text, illustrations, and layout: all of it.
The website glossary is drawn from this book.
