blads
Okay, a quiz. But don’t post a comment; email me. I’ll send out as many books as correct answers vs. one smarty pants going on early and giving it away.
I have found that publishing veterans of 15, 25 and more years don’t know the answer to this one: What does the acronym ‘blad’ stand for?
Everyone who even tries an answer will get a copy of my fave rave, Lizzie’s War.
BLAD the Impaler?

Okay, I'm late on this -- thanks, Carl for the heads up on the blog, and nice to see you, even briefly, at BEA -- blad is book layout and design. (I think)

Okay, so I'm so late with answer as I tend to read blogs once a week and am just getting back to yours. It's easy to say that I knew it was Basic Layout And Design, when the answer is right there in someone elses comment, but I really did.
Anyway, here's another possible meaning, one publishers would hope for:
Buy Lots And Display
