Take a Virtual Field Trip to see how books are made! When you get to the
website simply follow the arrows to see a photo-tour along with helpful and
humorous information on the book making process. What's really fun here is
that the information is presented as if you, the reader, are an author who
wants to have your book published. You'll learn all about:
-Customer Service and Job Engineering
-The Pre-Press Process including Typesetting
-Press Department (Includes info on the different presses and ink used for
printing pages, photos, illustrations, book covers, etc.)
-Bindery Department (Includes info on hard bound and paperback books.)
This is a short, informative, fun, and fascinating tour.
