This isn't really about desktop publishing, but I though people
here would find it interesting anyway. Recently I was using ISI's Science
Citation Index. For those of you not familiar with it, each volume (and
there are 20 or so per year) is a fat (3" or so) book, with large (9" x
12", I'd guess) pages printed on ultra thin dictionary-type paper.
What I found interesting was that the first and last signatures in
each volume are printed on heavier paper than the rest of the book.
Presumably this is to help protect the pages from getting mangled. Is this
standard practice for large heavy books with thin pages?
