What is meant by camera-ready?
Some people think that camera-ready means a finished manuscript, but printers mean something entirely different when they refer to camera-ready copy. A book is camera-ready if every page is typeset and formatted on a page exactly as it will appear in the printed book, which means true quotes rather than inch marks, true em and en dashes rather than hyphens, running headers and footers (with odd-numbered pages on the right side and even-numbered pages on the left), crop marks to indicate trim size, and type resolution and density optimized.
