What’s It Mean? A-Z
///////////////////////////////
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, introduction (material to read before the text), preface (from author), forward (not from author), epigraph (pertinent quote), 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.
