Why Guides Publishing?
|
We firmly believe we have ideas worth learning and with the electronic media, a new way of delivering them. By developing a series of books in an electronic format, we can grow and edit and change as technology advances. We've worked at making these ideas simple to understand and learn.
|
Concern for both the environment and developing new methods of learning has focused Guides Publishing on the latest concepts in electronic publishing.
|
By publishing electronically, the reader will recieve a printable format with specific instructions for their interests. This reduces paper waste and preserves our forests. (It's got to start somewhere - we think it should be here.)
|
95% of our books are in an eBook format which works on virtually all computer platforms. This method allows us to revise and update various editions to make it a more compatible and useable concept. For example, in our mandolin / music books, if a reader has a better idea for a tune or a technique change, we can implement this change virtually immediately, and advise subscribers the update is available.
|
We generally create our books in Adobe Acrobat 6 which is availble as a free download from Adobe.
There may be some books which are done in Acrobat 7. We will advise you of these more specialized publications. Adobe 7 is also available for free from Adobe

If a reader discovers a better way of expressing an idea in our self improvement series, we will explore that idea and if appropriate, enter it into that specific publication.

1% for
the Planet
|
Guides Publishing has approached 1% for the Planet concerning donating a percentage of its Sales for ongoing ecological work. Our planet needs this consideration.
|
Ideas are where it all starts. Your future, your career path, your whole life. If you don't have an idea as to where you're going - life can and will be an aimless expression of frustration. It's time to get your mind and your soul functioning together. Just one element won't do it, you need to get it all together.
|
If you start somewhere ... you'll probably end up somewhere else.
|
We are living in an interesting, complex and confusing time. What has been done over the past century or two has had terrific ramifications on who and what we are today. Choices we make today have tremendous impact on how we will be living in the future.
|
After careful consideration, Guides Publishing tm will be creating most of its publications in a digital format - as this seems to have less of an impact on our eco system than any other method. Those selections which are printed will be created on one of the new, highly durable, eco neutral 'paper' replacements.
