Print process/production reference book

[rdc1985]

Hi guys,

Due to not a great deal of experience when it comes to dealing with printers, I'm looking for some book recommendations on the print process and print design production methods.

I've come across The Production Handbook by Gavin Ambrose on Amazon, does anyone recommend this or can you point out any other good books?

Kind Regards
Rich.

Production for Print by Mark Gatter and Production for Graphic Designers by Alan Pipes are both good.

I found "Getting It Right In Print" by Mark Gatter useful when I left Uni. I like it as a quick reference point covering most things I would need, then I could find other resources if I needed greater detail.
