Books about printing written for printers or would-be printers go
back over 300 years. The earliest of them were almost exclusively
concerned with books; this century, however, there has been more
emphasis on other kinds of documents, and particularly their
design. But no shift in document production has been more sudden
than the one that has happened most recently. ConSequently, the
last five years have witnessed a substantial movement away from
books written for professionals to ones whose aim is to help
would-be authors produce their own documents. The opportunities for
authors to do this have been opened up by the advent of desktop
publishing (a term coined as recently as 1984). As most exponents
of desktop publishing have come to realise, the term is something
of a misnomer because the provision of facilities that allow
authors to produce their own material for publishing is not quite
the same thing as publish ing. Nevertheless, it has been useful in
focussing attention on author-produced documents, and what might be
described as the democratisation of document production. This book
is different from others in the field. Its target audience is the
busy scientist engaged in teaching or research who uses computers
in the ordinary course of work. The world of scientific publishing
is rapidly moving towards the day when journals will expect
contributions from authors on disc, or even by direct transfer of
data from the author's computer to the output device of an editor
via telephone and satellite."
