So I am not one. As I have said several times LSI publishes books with color interiors and books with B/W interiors. The COVER of the book with the B/W interior can be either PDF X/1-a:2001 format or a Tiff file. The INTERIOR of a book with B/W interior can be any form of pdf. Books with color interiors and destined for LSI have a different set of rules. Basically Tiff is not specified as an acceptable format. Both cover and interior shuld be PDF X/1-a:2001. Also the bleed margins are different. -- John Culleton Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
