Pt. 1 Anatomy of a Book.
A book is...a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A book consisting of a number of pages bond together.
Leaves- Individual sheets with a bound book.
Pages- Leaves have a front and back side- each is referred to as a page.
Page Spreads- When bound together, the right (recto) and left (verso) pages are centered on a gutter where they are bound together at a spine.
As a general rule, a PERFECT BOUND book consists of pages, leaves and spreads of equal aspect ratio and size.
IMPOSITION- Precise arrangement of multiple pages on a large sheet of paper or press sheet. They layout and sequence in such that when the print is folded, bounded and guillotened, each element of the document is correctly positioned in the correct page sequence or order.
PAGINATION- Pagination is the process of dividing and numbering documents into pages. Pagination can include other attributes such as columns, margins, headers, and footers. Paginated documents can be viewed on the web or as a hardcopy.
Types of binding include: PERFECT, COIL, PLASTIC, VELO, THESIS & MULTIBINDING.
In an A2/A1 sheet, as we experimented with, you can achieve a maximum of 32 folds in a page. (folding in half seven times)- Think in multiples of 4- as A4 can be folded down into this (same as A2/A1) size FOUR TIMES.
