Each issue is available in two layouts:
- A5 layout is intended for on-screen viewing and quick printing; it has pages in consecutive order.
- A4-booklet layout gives you a nice little brochure if you print it double-sided, fold the pages in half and put a couple staples in the middle. When you print this layout on a duplex (double-sided) printer, choose Portrait orientation and Top binding or Short side binding option in the printer properties.
