Parent's
Guide
Below:
The PARENT'S
GUIDE
is a tri-fold
printed on both
sides. The two little dots
(actually purple
squares) at the
bottom of each
page line up
beautifully on
the folder but
not on my scans.
Blame
me,
not Kotex.
Each of the
three sections
measures 6 3/8 x
9 1/8" (16.2 x
23.2 cm).
See the cover, at right, at the bottom
of
this page.

Below,
larger
image: Right
out of the box you see
only the folder's
cover
with
the other pages tucked
invisibly underneath.
That
tiny
circle with
a dark center right of
"Aware" near
the edge (enlarged
right below) is a
speck of something
(center) on the
printing plate that
has
prevented the ink from
landing on the paper
(the white part);
printers
and their clients of
course hate
this imperfection.
Because of its shape
and the feelings
toward it the
technical term for it
is an "as-" - whoops! -
well, it's the crude
term among a certain
class of people for "anus."
But
this is a DECENT
Web site for you
DECENT people who
of course have
never heard this
printers' word before.
