\title{Practical Typesetting}
\author{Peter Flynn\\Silmaril Consultants}
\date{December 2001}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
This document presents the basic concepts of typesetting in a 
form usable by non-specialists. It is aimed at those who find 
themselves (willingly or unwillingly) asked to undertake work 
previously sent out to a professional printer, and who are
concerned that the quality of work (and thus their corporate
image) does not suffer unduly.

The topics cover layout, the need for accuracy, the choice of 
typeface, arrangement of the document, adherence to 
specifications, and the production process. No foreknowledge
of printing or publishing is needed, but an eye for detail,
a feeling for æsthetics, and some fluency with a computer is
expected.
