دانلود کتاب Formatting Your Fantastic Book: A Step-By-Step Guide from Idea to Print of Mirror-Image Margins, Front Matter, Styles, Kerning, Borders, Section ... E-book Conversion, Hyperlinks and much more.

This book could easily have been titled FORMATTING MADE EASY and FUN. It is written so that you, the reader, can easily understand and apply every formatting task needed to produce a professional-looking book. The author took pains to spell out every step about formatting as she formatted it, being careful NOT to leave out the minutest detail. A person who has no formatting experience and very little computer knowledge can successfully format a TO-BE BOOK by following her directions. Tutorials are separated into 56 easy-to-read (mostly short) chapters. Directions are clear and repeated throughout the book and technical terms are underlined. Readers will be surprised at how many step-by-step visual aids for formatting front matter pages and chapter/section titles are included. You will learn how to insert your author name, book title and page numbering correctly in Header & Footer areas and you will learn how to modify styles and “the whys” of many formatting rules. The author also includes glitches you may encounter and how to resolve them, plus two methods for inserting page numbers. If you follow her directions, you will end up with a professionally formatted book you will be proud to share with others. Knowing how-to books can be boring to read and, at times, difficult to follow, the author purposely invented a sidekick, Phantom, to challenge her throughout the book. Hopefully, Phantom will mitigate your learning frustration and make your journey into the mysterious, scary realm of formatting enjoyable. Although the author is a Mac person, she took into account both Mac and PC people write books. Thus, PC directions are intertwined with Mac directions (hopefully in all the right places) and a Mac to PC conversion chapter is included.
