I think this is mostly for Sebastian, but for the record, here's the latest
from Xlibris.
Sebastian, I'll propose to Ray that the code they use should be 15164-TEI
and 15165-TEI, and not 15164-UNSW and 15165-UNSW. Can you respond (to
Ray, cc me) to items 1 and 2, below? I have put up the PDF atttachment he
refers to at:

> > Dear Mr. Unsworth,

> > As you know, your project is one that is not normal in our system. As I

> > would like to discuss.
> >
> > 1. Your PDF documents were not saved exactly to the specifications that I
> > sent to David Seaman. We were able to work with it, but we had to reduce
> > the size. Whereas the PDF that you sent was saved at 8 1/2 by 11 inches,
> > our pages are 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. See the attached file to see how
> > this will affect the layout. The text will appear a bit small, but when
> > we printed it, it was readable.
> >
> > 2. I would also consider reviewing the gutters and margins. They were
> > not within the exact guidelines of my previous email (also attached to
> > this email). In particular the gutter may not have enough space. While
> > it is workable, it might not be the most readable as is.
> >
> > 3. There is also one other thing that we did not consider. Our books
> > have to have a marker on each right hand page, lower left-hand corner
> > indicating the code of the book. This is to help our printers when they
> > bind the books, a factor that comes up with On-demand printing. The codes
> > we need placed are 15164-UNSW and 15165-UNSW. The former for part one,
> > the latter for Part two.
> >
> > I imagine this might bring up some questions for you. We can continue to
> > communicate via email; I can also have one of my technical people speak
> > with one of yours which perhaps might speed this whole process up.
> >
> > In the meantime, until we clear this stage up, I have not cashed the
> > check, just to be sure we can make this book before going down that road.

>Dear Mr. Seaman,

>We are all very excited to work with your two volume book. Here is how we
>can accommodate your project.
>
>Both books would be submitted in the professional service at a cost of $900
>each for the setup. This will allow us to use your PDFs. We will also
>create a cover for each as described in our brochure under the professional
>service. We can discuss the details of this as the time approaches. We are
>flexible in this regard.
>
>As part of this service, you will also be eligible for our special offer,
>which would give you 20 free copies of each book upon publication.
>
>Now, here are the details of what we need from your PDF:
>
>Page size: 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches
>Page Length: We cannot print books at more than 600 pages in length
>Margins:
> - inside/gutter: .75 inches
> - outside: .5 inches
> - top: .5 inches (to top of text, not headers. if there are headers,
>it should be .7 inches to the text, .5 to headers)
> - bottom: as low as .5 inches, but if you have page numbers, make it
>.65 or .7 inches to the text, .5 to the page numbers.
>Distillation:
> - the PDF should be 600dpi
> - any images should be 300dpi
> - all the fonts should be embedded
> - we use the HP LaserJet 8100 series PS PPD and the HP LaserJet 8100
>DN PS printer driver
>
>If you are using adobe distiller, I have specific settings.
>
>If you are doing it some other way (exporting to PDF via MS WORD), what do
>you need to know besides the above?
>
>We will be altering the PDF in one small way. We will add a copyright page
>for you that indicates the ISBN number we assign for tracking purposes.
>This page will be inserted where you have a blank page on the opposite side
>of the Title page.
>
>Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to work with you
>to get any unresolved issues resolved.

>All the best,
