Karen>Are you so wedded to having YOUR files published? Your files can't be the last step before the master format? It saddens me when I see my efforts replaced with something that is clearly inferior by any rational measure of typographical success, by techno-nerds who are more interested in inventing and playing with their own little languages than in producing books which are fun to read. Its not just the people on this forum who do this. There are ton of repackaging houses out there, including Amazon and Apple and the rest, who take the PG files, strip out the PG legalize, strip out the PG/DP acknowledgements, strip out the effort that has been put into making something look reasonably intelligent and reasonably responsive to the original, and replace it with some kind of gimcrack boilerplate which anyone with any background in typography, even just reading one book on typography, will tell you is just plain ugly and stupid and ignores the last 400+ years of agreement about how one designs an attractive and readable thing called "a book." And when they do so they inevitably go beyond this and step on the linguistic intentions of the original author. Because they simply don't understand, or are not willing to acknowledge, or really don't care, that formatting *also* has linguistic intent, and books typically *are not* simply "a string of undifferentiated words." And the reader doesn't realize how much has been lost in the reading experience by this constant dumbing-down process unless they go back and look at an actual copy of a first edition and see for themselves how much more sense that copy makes compared to today's techno-nerd dumbed-down version.
