I was once told that an expert is a person in a suit carrying a
brief case and more than 25 miles from his home office. So I am
not one.

As I have said several times LSI publishes books with color
interiors and books with B/W interiors. The COVER of the book
with the B/W interior can be either PDF X/1-a:2001 format or a
Tiff file. The INTERIOR of a book with B/W interior can be any
form of pdf. 

Books with color interiors and destined for LSI have a different 
set of rules. Basically Tiff is not specified as an acceptable
format. Both cover and interior shuld be PDF X/1-a:2001. Also the
bleed margins are different.
