When a project is finished, we archive the page layout
files, fonts, and art on CD. One copy of the CD is stored in a distant
vault and another copy is kept at Genericís offices. We also maintain
on site the postscript/PDF files used for the original printing of the
book, and a copy of the finished book that you will have supplied.
In this way, we always have ready access to the files; we have the
physical book for reference; and we have backup in case of emergency.
E-Commerce
Nobody can predict how electronic markets will evolve or solidify into
economic opportunities for publishers. The best tactic, therefore, is
to keep all options open and be prepared to respond as technology evolves.
With Generic projects, your options are kept open: we can download
any book from our archives in various formats (HTML, SGML) on request.
In this way, you can take advantage of e-opportunity as it knocks.
Reprints
As an extension of our policy of not charging for AAs, we also do not
charge for reprint corrections. However, you should specify corrections
clearly as you would on the pre-production manuscript.
Make your corrections on tear sheets or photocopies of the book and
send us these marked up pages. We will reopen the files, make the indicated
corrections, and send PDF files as replacements for the various pages.
And, should the corrections flow over onto additional pages, we will
confirm the reflow against our copy of the existing book.
For further information, please email us, including your name, affiliation, and areas of interest,
and we will get back to you quickly.
