27 Psbook uses Pstops to rearrange pages from a PostScript document into
28 ‘signatures’ for printing books or booklets, creating a new PostScript
29 file. The signature size is the number of sides which will be folded
30 and bound together; the number given should be a multiple of four. Ex‐
31 tra blank sides will be added if the file does not contain a multiple
32 of four pages.
