Well, glad that's all cleared up...
Seriously, I always thought of a "two-sheet" as a poster on thin paper stock
that is approx twice the size of a OS, and usually folded. I usually equate
this with Subway-style posters...mainly because of the approximation,
though. Had not heard Kirby's tale of a 2SH being in two separate
pieces...that's pretty good info to have shared, thanks Kirby.
At any rate, I think the agreement is that a 40x60 is "Not" a 2SH, as
indicated by JW. Interesting.
Regards,
Gary
