Brain just went back into gear--The book was by BISHOP GRAPHICS who made all the tape and stick-on patterns back in the days of laying things out by hand on mylar sheets-- Days long gone thank the PTB's. Actually had a dog chew up a 3 x 4 FOOT layout once--just before it went to the photographers. Dog Died, and the person who took the layout home to put on the "final touches" almost did. Anyway--if you can find a copy of the Bishop book, it was THE industry standard reference--and except for the newer stuff--probably still could be. Covered everything! kelly William K.
