[Joe Malin] I happen to get lots of information from "Xerox Publishing
Standards" by Xerox Corporation. It's out of print but readily available
in the used book market. Try Amazon, or Google it. This book has, among
other features, a *very* detailed description of Xerox's printed book
standards. They helped me come up with a good standard for my own
company.
