Thank you.

I got the PDF and, as I can see, it's quite detailed.  I suppose other
printers in US have more or less similar helpful material available. 
However, this PDF does give me an indication of the type of things
that I should start considering & researching right now (which I am
not very good at - the hardcore DTP!).

I haven't been working with Scribus for quite some time but will start
doing some work right now in order to familiarize myself with this
stuff.  So, do please expect more questions!

Thanks again for the help.
