Thank's to Asymetrix for writing ToolBook. If I could give one tip
to authors of Books it would be to pencil out each page in
thumbnail form and set your target reader as well as what you want
to communicate/sell/inform/ or identify. Do this BEFORE you ever
begin to create your Book. I can not stress the importance of this
critical step in the Design process enough....It will save you
dozens of hours. If you are more of the programmer type then find
a good Designer to work with (like me) BEFORE the project is
started.

And if you will bare with me a little commercial please.

May 22,1990 La Jolla, California...Steve Shubitz, President of
Published Perfection! announced a line of Graphic Enhancements
specifically created for Windows 3.0.

1) Custom designed high quality color" wallpaper" clip art
available immediately. Over 8 MB of color .bmp files are included
in the first collection  titled Clip 1 which is priced at $19.95.
A wide assortment of clip art is available in the first collection
along with the ability to create your own custom
desktops/wallpaper and use the art in your own publications. All
of the clip art is device independent so it prints at the highest
resolution of the output device. Functionality with the Windows 3
clipboard and any Windows 3 application is supported. Seven more
disks will be released within 3 months. Samples may be obtained on
Compuserve in winapa,winapb, and dtpforum.

2) Animation images to be used with HDC's First Apps and Asymetrix
Toolbook. The first collection will be released in June of 1990.

3) The first of a series of HyperCard like stacks with links to
Toolbook. Design 1 will be released in July of 1990 and feature a
basic course on Design for the Electronic Publisher with full
graphics and text in an easy to learn 12 step process.
