> I think that portrait beats landscape: not just because my shelving is set
up for that, but most people are set up for A4 portrait magazines, and
landscape juts too far out from a shelf, and then gets damaged. Landscape
tends to be reserved purely for pictorials with no serious text content.
One third of what you pay for is blank paper. Wonderfully arty-farty, but
not good for a work of serious enduring reference value.

Rod, it's comments such as you've offered here that helped me decide that I
like portrait (or upright) over landscape. Mind you, I've got some pretty
good books in my collection that are landscape, but they look awful poking
half out of the shelves, yet the upright ones all fit in nicely. I like the
way text looks amongst a photo of an upright page and in this publication
there'll be a lot of text, as there will be a story to be told, a story that
offers much more information than that offered 22
years ago.

If anyone's got any comments please put them up, either here or in the
forum. There's time to take it all on board and consider things and I
welcome suggestions.

-Ian.
