-Never trim a printout, mount it beautifully, and display it with its alternates on the finely polished surface of the conference-room table.

-Invest in a full-color, life-size photomural of a newsstand and have it permanently installed.

-If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it.
