The best overview/basic reference for the printing industry that I've
found is "Pocket Pal" from International Paper. It's a little book that
has been continuously revised for the last 63 years, the latest being
last October. You can learn more about it at http://www.internationalpaper.com/ca/page/press_releases.cgi?funcs=links

<http://www.internationalpaper.com/ca/page/press_releases.cgi?funcs=link
s&ID=866546&backto=list> . Amazon.com carries it, but unfortunately it
is currently on back order. Maybe now that you have a specific title,
you can try your library again.

Hope this isn't off topic...I'd imagine I'm not the only techwhirler who
has to bid out color print jobs.
Does anyone know of a good reference book or website that covers the
printing industry...processes, equipment, pre-press technolgies, etc.
I'm looking for a good overview, but one that's up-to-date. My search w/
Yahoo only turned up printing companies, and my local library's books
are all from the 1970's. I'd love to hear from anyone with knowledge in
this arena to find out how you learned what you know...
Thanks much!
