Maryland Comp A Survival Story --Waldman

But first, understand that when I talk about book composition I am not talking about the typesetting of novels. Rather, I'm referring to what was the complex task of typesetting, making up and producing film for math, chemistry, biology and medical books with hundreds of images. Computer composition systems like Penta and Miles that helped automate the task, coupled with a highly organized production staff, contributed to a flourishing business during the '80s.
