Illustrations
The publisher requires a set of good quality line figures and original photographs to produce
the printed figures.
Line drawings should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black India ink, with careful lettering,
large enough to remain legible after reduction for printing.
Photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required
in the printed version. They should be unmounted. The topside of a photograph should be marked if necessary. Electronic Illustrations.
