Cover - 0000.psd
	The right side of the document is the front cover. The left side of the document is the back cover. The outer guides represent where the printed cover will fold over the board material. Place text or important parts of an image at least 1/4 inch away from outer guides. To ensure a full bleed, the image must extend to the edge of the document (beyond the guideline). The two guides in the center represent the spine. You may place text or an image in this area, or you may leave it blank. On the back cover of the book, there is space reserved for the required barcode. A grey or blue box is used as the placeholder in your Photoshop file. YOU MUST DELETE THIS LAYER IN PHOTOSHOP BEFORE SAVING THE FILE. Do not place text or important parts of an image in this area, as it will be covered by the bar code. Our system will automatically overprint the barcode in the reserved area.
First Page - 0001.jpg
	The first page of the book is a single side. It falls on the right side of the spread. The left side will be left white automatically. The top, bottom, and right guides represent the area where the page will be trimmed. Place text or important parts of an image at least 1/4 inch away from outer guides. To ensure a full bleed, the image must extend to the edge of the document (beyond the guideline). The left guide is part of the gutter. All Book Bound books will loose approximately 1/4 inch per side in the gutter area
Spreads - 0203.jpg
	The outer guides represent the area where the paper will be trimmed. Place text or important parts of an image at least 1/4 inch away from outer guides. To ensure a full bleed, the image must extend to the edge of the document (beyond the guideline). The three guides in the center represent the gutter. Approximately 1/2 inch of the image area will be hidden in the gutter. Do not place text or important parts of an image in this area. It usually looks fine to have parts of an image go through the gutter, as long as it's not important information - like someone's face!
Last Page - 2000.psd
	The last page of the book is a single side. It falls on the left side of the spread. The right side will be left white automatically. The top, bottom, and left guides represent the area where the page will be trimmed. Place text or important parts of an image at least 1/4 inch away from outer guides. To ensure a full bleed, the image must extend to the edge of the document (beyond the guideline). The right guide is part of the gutter. All Book Bound books will loose approximately 1/4 inch per side in the gutter area. On the last page of the book, there is space reserved for the required barcode. A grey or blue box is used as the placeholder in your Photoshop file. YOU MUST DELETE THIS LAYER IN PHOTOSHOP BEFORE SAVING THE FILE. Do not place text or important parts of an image in this area, as it will be covered by the bar code. Our system will automatically overprint the barcode in the reserved area.
