For almost 30 years now, Die Herstellung ("The Production") has been a standard reference work in the realms of publishing, book trade and graphic design. It covers classical production work, basics of typography, production technology and calculation, as well as current developments in the fields of conventional and electronic publications, such as eBooks, CD-ROMs and online publications. Includes a new chapter on XML in publishing. It also provides a detailed job profile of the production manager's profession.
