[Shop-talk] Book deal Was: 35mm slide scanner?

[Richard George]

Hi,

The two "typical" paths are to either use their software or submit a pdf 
file.  There are usually templates available for word, indesign, etc. to 
set up the
size, etc.  I've done these with both an ancient copy of word and 
indesign - If you're doing anything fancy, I would prefer the latter...).

If you just want to try something/just need a couple, you might also 
look at Costco (they provide mypublisher, but I seem to recall somebody 
telling
me they'll take a pdf too (but ymmv on that) ) - sometimes they run 
specials, and...

Best,

rkg
