Exactly! You would think someone from a renowned engineering school like
Purdue would have the ability to do something that simple.

So rude! I expected better of someone from Purdue! I suggest you
leave him on to suffer until he figures out how to unsubscribe
himself or learns to ask in a nice way.

Bob,
Thanks for the note and the suggestions. I used Word also for
previous books
but
my colleagues here are telling me that I must "upgrade" so I
decided to give
InDesign a shot. What a headache!! I should have my head examined
doing it
this
way. Although I must admit it has many "printer friendly" features
that I
don't
understand but whcih a printer would feel quite at home with!
On the TOC ... if I had the authors listed by name and page number
on which
their personal infor appears ... you think that would work? I am
thinking 2
columns of 20 with "name 1", "name 2", etc. stacked.
cheers,
andy

me an
opinion as to a very basic book layout question I'd appreciate it.
Should the
authors/photographs be organized in alphabetical fashion or is
random listing
OK? Maybe in order of arrival? A friend of mine opined that if
random those
that normally come at the end of any queue would really appreciate
it>>>
Well, as the author of "Designing Beautiful Books . . ." I spend
considerable time wondering about content and organization. In my
opinion,
you should use a random listing. I am not sure order of arrival means
anything. I say mix it up.
That said, you should add a TOC as well as an index so the reader
can more
easily locate a specific photographer. If you have a good index,
you can give
the reader the ability to locate information by location and subject.
I am not sure what program you are using to layout the book, but I
use
Microsoft Word and adding an index or a TOC is child's play. My
latest book
is all about templates, styles, headers, page and section breaks,
ect. If you
are using Word, I can help. I seem to recall you are not, however.
Luck to you,
Bob
