The 1994 AirTouch International style guide won an STC award. Maybe you
can get them to send you a copy. That would be right up your alley. It
is spiral bound and less than 100 pages. Its tall, narrow shape makes
it a little awkward for standard bookshelves.
You can go out and buy Read Me First -- a Prentice-Hall book based on a
Sun style guide. It has a CD with FrameMaker templates. ...RM
