A proper NCR book has a stiff backing board, a wraparound cover, a writing shield to stop the copy transferring onto the set below, and a head glue that holds when it is half full and thrown on a dashboard.

Stiff enough to write on without a hard surface underneath.
Protects the unused sets and folds behind while you write.
Slots behind the set you are on so the pressure does not mark the ones below.
Bound along the top and taped, so sets stay put until they are torn out.
Sequential on every part, so each set is traceable back to a job.
The colour order is standard across the trade, so a customer handed a yellow copy knows exactly what it is.
| Sets per book | 50 or 100 is typical |
| Sizes | A4, A5, A6, DL |
| Numbering | Sequential, red or black, from your start number |
| Perforation | On any part, usually the customer copy |
| One colour or full colour, one or both sides |
TODO: confirm price list and turnaround before publishing — no figures shown until confirmed, rather than quoting something that turns out to be wrong.
Send a photo of the front page and tell us the last number used. We will match it and carry the sequence on.
