*Leading: See Line Spacing
Terms marked with an asterisk (*) are not generally used in our office.

Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
Don't overlook your fonts. It's so easy to produce a book all in the default font. Many people add a display font to their title page, but consider making your headers/page numbers in their own font and also chapter/section headings.
///////////////////////////////
Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
Thick books should always be hardbound - unless you hope to sell replacements as the books wear out and come apart due to thickness.
///////////////////////////////
Marketing advice - not in this issue

///////////////////////////////
Genealogy ideas - not in this issue
