Hello,
As a new Techwr-l member, I am impressed with the willingness of people to
help both in the list and offlist. I have a followup question.
Is the concept of "2 finished manuscript pages to 1 book page" a frequent
or the common technical publishing industry practice?
In other words, is this a "oh everybody knows that..." type of thing?
Let's say the "finished manuscript page" was clearly defined from the
start and it was only when the contract was delivered, that "finished book
page" came up.
