This book is packed full of all of the practical information that any designer needs. The extensive amount of topics covered in here is truely impressive: -copywriter marks -all kinds of dielines from folders to boxes -common styles of plastic containers -typography reference -U.S. postal standards -printing and finishing options -cmyk swatches -barcode standards and much much more... For all of this information, the book is not a huge brick. It's a managable little reference book that I can carry with me to any freelance gig. And thanks to the vinyl cover of this book, I know I won't have to worry about it wearing out from all of the heavy use this book will be put through. Book Description Forms, Folds, and Sizes is a must-have book for every designer- amateur or professional. As the titleconveys, it includes details on all the things you can never find but need to know. No other book compiles as much critical information in one place.
