			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many savvy business owners know that a book can be the ultimate marketing tool. Writing a book on a topic related to your business establishes expertise, expands your marketing influence, and generates new leads-all while bringing in income from book sales.</p>
<p>However, you can&#8217;t just write ANY book. You need to strategically design your book to attract the right kind of leads and clients to your business. Where should you start? Consider the following three steps.</p>
<p>1. Fill a Need in Your Market<br />If you want to write a business book, then the first step is to figure out what need you will fill. Like all products that are invented to satisfy some useful purpose, your book should offer a new process or solve a problem in your readers&#8217; lives. So think about it: what does your market need and want? What solutions can you offer them? What can you show them that will make their lives easier? Figure this out, and you&#8217;ve got the foundation for a successful business book.</p>
<p>2. Develop Your Process<br />Once you know what solution you will offer your book&#8217;s readers, you need to distill that down into steps or a process that they can apply on their own. Although you may not realize it, you probably use the same process, or explain the same concepts, with all your clients. To get this process down on paper so readers can use it, start by listing all the steps. What do your readers need to know (or do) first? What step comes next? What actions will take them from the place they are now to the place where they need to be? Each of these main steps should have sub-steps, which can then be grouped together into chapters. By putting all these pieces together, your book&#8217;s structure should start to develop.</p>
<p>3. Sell the Benefits<br />With your steps in place, you need to look for the big-picture benefits this process helps your target market achieve. What goal will your readers reach if they implement the strategies provided in your book? How will their lives ultimately improve? What deep human need does your book help fill? The answers to these questions are the benefits. These are the things people want that you can provide. And these benefits are what will sell your book. Keep this in mind as you&#8217;re writing your book, and your readers will find it irresistible.</p>
<p>Business by the Book<br />Writing a book is an excellent way to expand your influence, create new leads, and generate new income in your business. And writing the perfect book for your market starts with identifying a need, developing your process, and then communicating the benefits of your solutions. When you use these three steps for designing your book as the ultimate marketing tool, your market will hear your message loud and clear-and they&#8217;ll only want to buy from you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Selecting a paper can often be very confusing; there are numerous different types and brands of paper available today. When selecting paper, be sure to keep in mind that the choice you make for your project will affect how it the printed piece is perceived. Before placing a printing order, it is a good idea to request a paper sample for each paper you are considering for the project. <br/><br/>Finish: The finish of a paper is it&#8217;s surface texture. Uncoated and coated paper have different surface textures. <br/><br/>Weight: The weight of a paper refers to its thickness and is measured in pounds (#). The higher the number, the more (equivalent) weight a paper has (the thicker/heavier the paper). *See the comparison table for more information on weights.Opacity: A paper&#8217;s opacity is determined by its weight, ingredients and absorbency. A paper&#8217;s opacity determines how much printing will show through on the reverse side of a sheet. Opacity is expressed in terms of it&#8217;s percentage of reflection. Complete opacity is 100% and complete transparency is 0%.Brightness: The brightness of a sheet of paper measures the percentage of a wavelength of blue light it reflects. The brightness of a piece of paper is typically expressed on a scale of 1 to 100 with 100 being the brightest. Most papers reflect 60-90% of light. The brightness of a paper affects readability, the perception of ink color and the contrast between light and dark hues. <br/><br/>Offset: Also known as book or text paper, offset paper can have a coated or uncoated finish. Offset paper is thinner and lightweight. It is often used for publication interior sheets, brochures &#038; flyers, and letterheads. Common offset weights: 50#, 60#, 70#, 80#, 100#. Bond: Bond or writing papers are most often used for letterhead. The most commonly recognized bond or writing stocks are: <br/><br/>Cover: Cover stocks are heavy in weight, rigid and not easily folded. These papers are generally used for publication covers, business cards, greeting cards, folders, and postcards. They can have coated or uncoated finishes. Common weights for cover stocks include: 65#, 80#, 100#, 120#, and 12pt.Tag: Tag paper is a dense grade of paper that is strong, durable, and water resistant. Tag paper is typically used for hanging tags such as store tags on clothing or other products.Index: Index paper is a stiff, not too thick, inexpensive paper with a smooth finish. It is often used for index cards and folders. <br/><br/></p>

</ul>
<p>This long-standing tradition was continued by writer-traveller Bruce Chatwin who used to buy his moleskines at an old Paris stationery shop in Rue de l&#8217;Ancienne Comedie where he would always stock up before embarking on one of his journeys. Over the years he had developed a veritable ritual. Before using them he would in fact number the pages, writing on the inside his name and at least two addresses across the world, and a message promising a reward for anyone finding and returning the notebook in case of it being lost. He even suggested this method to his friend Luis Sepulveda, when he gave him a precious moleskine as a present for a journey they were planning to undertake together in Patagonia. And there was no doubt as to how precious it was, given that at the time even the last moleskine manufacturer, a small family-run firm of Tours, had discontinued production in 1986. &#8216;Le vrai moleskine n&#8217;est plus&#8217; was the short and curt statement of the owner of the stationery shop where Chatwin had ordered one hundred before leaving for Australia. Despite having literally swept up all the Moleskines he could find, they were not enough. Now, the moleskine is back again. This silent and discreet keeper of an extraordinary tradition, which has been missing for years, has set out again on its journey. A witness to contemporary nomadism, it can once again pass from one pocket to another to continue the adventure. The sequel still waits to be written and its blank pages are ready to tell the story.</p>
