Job spec: The world's largest permanent exhibition and single source of information for the construction industry required an annual catalogue for its bookshop. The client supplied us with complex information - on more than 1000 titles - via an Access database. Sophisticated 'link' software enables us to flow client data through page templates into QuarkXPress, saving many hours over traditional compiling methods. Indexes are created quickly and hassle-free through the data link process. In just three years, we slashed the time taken to complete a catalogue - from an average of four months to just over six weeks.
