Can anyone point me to a reference for learning about page
layout? I'm not looking for any software. I just want to
know what constitutes good or bad page layout for print. I
understand that there should not be too much crowded on a
page. I also realize that objects on a page shouldn't just
"float in space" with nothing unifying them. I would like
to know specifically how to look for no-no's in a printed
page layout.
I apologize for being a newbie.

Chastity:
Robin Williams' "The Non-Designer's Design Book" was a good resource for me
to learn the basics of design. Peachpit Press is the publisher.
And never apologize for being a newbie :-)
Good luck
