What's It Mean? - Writer's Lingo
///////////////////////////////

Front matter: All the pages in the front of the book, leading up to the text proper - title page/verso, dedication, table of contents, frontice piece, preface, etc.

Gripper Margin (*Grip): Margin space that is needed to get the page through the press.  Strictly speaking the *Grip is space that cannot be printed upon, and is always larger on one of the 4 edges of the paper.

Terms marked with an asterisk (*) are not generally used in our office.

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////

Did you know that you can use the Microsoft Office combination of Excel and Word to produce individual items up to, and including, postal bar codes? When desiring postal bar codes, the computer system will need the bar code font installed. Also, double check with your printer specifications to be sure it is capable of producing USPS readable codes.
