BOOK PUBLISHING PROCESS

A. Books

UNESCO in 1984 provides a definition of the book is: "The publication is printed, not periodic, that at least as many as 49 pages." (HG Andriese CS: Manage Publishing Book 1, Center Graphic Indonesia, 1993) If less than 49 pages, the name "brochure" not a book.

PRICING BOOK

A. Cost of Production

How about the right price of the book that we just print? Right price meaning not too expensive, but also not too cheap. In general, the price of a book is determined by multiplying how many times the cost of production.

BOOK DESIGNER

After editing the manuscript is completed, the next step in the process of publishing a book is the stage of designing the physical form of the book. Physical form of  a book include:

PREPRINTING PROCESS

Manuscript editing can be done using the application PageMaker, Microsoft Publisher or Freehand. At this stage a new concentration on the process of editing the text either on grammar, style, consistency of spelling, terminology, formulas, tables, pictures and images, capital letters, italics, bold, size of letters in the title of the chapter, section and text , decoding of words, compound words, and punctuation.

UNLAWFUL MANUSCRIPT

Since the manuscript is accepted, prior to start looking in detail on the techniques of writing, we as an editor have put radar in us to catch signals that lead to the violation of norms,  laws, customs and religion. This glance has begun to appear on the title, preface, table of contents, illustrations and content.

TEXT EDITING

One task as an editor is to edit the text which agreed to publish. Once the file is received and we put in our computer, then we start correcting it. It is not just about the correction of typos, but no less important is the author of consistency in terms of writing, spelling, punctuation, and so on. Consistency issues are not going to change the contents of the book mean, but rather on disorders of the reader's concentration. The reader is made disturbed by their promiscuous use of the term instead, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, italics, bold, chemical formulas, physics or mathematics. Readers are supposed to be cool to continue reading, suddenly had to stop because of disturbed by the use of inconsistent spelling and grumbling, and so he closed the book.
