What's It Mean?
///////////////////////////////

Camera-Ready Digital Print Manuscript (CRDPM):/Camera-Ready Copy Machine Manuscript (CRCMM): Document feedable (no paste up, attachments, gummy labels, etc.), single sheets printed one side, all same size, with binding margin (if desired). Note: two sided manuscripts can sometimes create copy difficulties, therefore, we discourage such practices. Please note that all forms of reproduction will loose some clarity.

Camera Ready Disk: Computer disk that contains Camera Ready Manuscript to be printed.

Camera Ready (hard copy) Manuscript (mssc or CRM): Basically "what you see is what you get", printed on one side of the paper, it includes text, artwork, documents, and spaces for photos. Any blemishes, coffee stains, or copy machine "splatter" on the original will be on the final copy (finished books). Please note that all forms of reproduction from this manuscript will loose some clarity.

Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////

For the author who has more than one book in print, if they wish to repackage their books into ready to mail, individual packages, the outside of each box should be marked with the title. This should be done the same way (red marker, white label, etc.) and placed in the same approximate place on the package (bottom/center, left on one end, below the return address, etc.) for easy reference. Please note that some carriers have restrictions on additional print. Currently, most are OK with markings as long as they are not distracting from the delivery information. USPS also recommends nothing be printed below the delivery address on the addressed side of the package.
