that a printed book has a more or less standard set of frontmatter
pages.
Alan,
As Stafano pointed out to me in an off-list message, the Chicago
Manual of
Style has (in my copy of the 15th Edition) Appendix A on design and
producion which runs 54 pages. :-) And I'll be working the Gorham
Publishers
in Centralia, WA (that's Washington state, not Western Australia) who
will
likely have their standards, too.
I guess the CMS will address 'Brevity' in the second volume :-).
Anyway, I agree with Steve that it is worth the time to set up styles
for each aspect of the frontmatter.
I've heard of WA. Isn't there some sort of software company there?
Cheers,
Alan
Thanks,
Rich
