<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Franklin Gothic Book">Imposition should be left up to
the printer. The OP indicates a folded signature would serve better because of
the gluing is an incorrect assumption, as the machine that applies the glue
first removes about 1/16 at the folded edge so the glue will come into contact
with each leaf. Size of the signature should be based only on what's most
efficient in a particular shop. Printers pay lots of money for imposition
software that allows for creep and skew, distortions that occur in the folding
process, trim marks and edge marks that make it easy to see if a book is missing
a signature or has too many. I wouldn't want to have to pay a printer
to undo what he would have done as a matter of routine.</FONT></DIV>
