Getting It Printed: A Guide to Working With Printers & Graphic Arts Services for Quality, Timeliness & Cost Control | Perfect for Marketing Materials, Business Printing & DIY Projects

The best book on printing i've ever found - a terrific reference! I'm not sure what "Ho-hum" was looking for. This is not a "design" book, it's about how to get something printed, AFTER it's designed (it does have some essential design tips, which relate to how things come out in print, such as light letters on dark background). It walks you through every technical detail, teaches the language of printers so you can talk to them, has examples and reference material. Excellent section on color. If you ever have to get something printed, it will save you a ton of time (and possibly money & aggravation).
