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.
