These two standards, the IPC-A-610 and the J-STD-001 are the most popular electronics standards Document Center sells.  They are usually ordered in one of three formats:  As a Paper copy ($136.00), a single user CD Rom ($146.00), and as a Kit (a combination of the paper copy and CD Rom)($198.00).   Please note that the CD Rom edition has the print function turned off, so you’ll only be able to use it on your computer.
