This guide to preparing manuscripts on computer offers authors and publishers practical assistance on how to use authors' disks or tapes for typesetting. When the thirteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style was published in 1982, the impact of personal computers on the publishing process had just begun to be felt. This new book supplements information in the Chicago Manual by covering the rapidly changing subject of electronic manuscripts. Since the early 1980s more and more authors have been producing manuscripts on computers and expecting their publishers to make use of the electronic version. For a number of reasons, including the proliferation of incompatible machines and software, however, publishers have not always found it easy to work with electronic manuscripts. The University of Chicago Press has been doing so since 1981, and in this book passes on the results of six years' experience with preparing such manuscripts and converting them to type.

Univ. of Chicago Pr. Apr. 1987. c.128p. bibliog. LC 86-19343. $25; pap. $9.95. publishing/ref Electronically prepared manuscripts have become increasingly important to publishers and typesetters because of the cost savings involved. However these benefits are possible only if the document is consistently coded and carefully prepared according to publishers' requirements. This unique and useful reference supplements the 13th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (1982). Based on five years of successful experience at the University of Chicago Press, it offers practical guidelines for preparing authors' disks and tapes for typesetting, helping authors as well as helping publishers take advantage of the new technology. Appendixes include forms, checklists, and codes. Robin Kaplan, M.L.S., The Information Group, Los Angeles
