About this book
The Author's Printing and Publishing Assistant is a book by Frederick Saunders. The title page says the book comprises explanations of the process of printing, preparation and calculation of manuscripts, choice of paper, type, binding, illustrations, publishing and advertising.
The text says that the number of pages in each sheet is determined by the size in which the work is to be printed: if in Folio, four pages; if in Quarto, eight pages; if in Octavo, sixteen; if in Duodecimo, twenty-four. The text describes an author who writes the word Revise upon a proof, which is corrected and transmitted to him again, until he adds the word Press, the order for printing off the entire number of copies of which the edition is to consist. The text describes a new mode called Cloth Binding, done by covering the Book with Cloth.
