4. How do I print book books
as Letter or Legal?
Letter Books can be printed on letter size paper (8.5x11inches), and Legal
Books can be printed on legal size paper (8.5x14inches),
but we find it looks much better printed as "Booklet".
This is a feature of many printer drivers that allows one to
print 2 pages facing up rotated 90 degrees. So each piece of
paper has 4 pages of a book. Thus if you were to fold the page
in half (touch the top and the bottom), then you would get a
booklet. These are often done for short books where you can
staple the pages together.
For these longer books, we cut the pages apart and fold them
together to make a book. After that we also add a cover for
it to look like a book. We use thick & glossy paper for
cover which is fed into the manual tray of the printer.
In order to bind these books, we have been using binding and
scoring equipment from Powis Parker.
The model-15 halfback from Powis Parker allows one to make a soft book without a cover
with its ability to thermally bind the pages together by using
binder strips.
The scoring machine enables one to add scores precisely to most
cover materials. These straight scores provide folding lines
on the covers. (For more information on binding and scoring
equipment, check Powis Parker Equipment)
Once the cover is folded around the creases and then wrapped
around the book, the strips of the soft book are removed allowing
one to stick the cover onto the book.
The finishing touches are added by trimming the edges of the
book and then we have a professional bound book!
5. What is the significance of the
‘Dware Dware Gyan Sampadaa’s collections?
Societies
have always placed importance on preserving their culture and
heritage. But much early 20th-century media -- television and
radio, for example -- was not saved. The
Library of Alexandria -- an ancient center of learning containing
a copy of every book in the world -- disappeared when it was
burned to the ground.
