----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Pratt Institute Library sends its periodicals to Heckman Bindery in Indiana. It selects perfect bindings because of a long-standing concern that sewn bindings are difficult to photocopy, since margins tend to be closer to the gutters. The persistent problem we have observed, however, relates to conservation. If the stock is stiff (usually because it is thick and coated), the pages tend to pop out, i. e., the binding fails. Although I understand that Heckman will guarantee the binding if it is no greater than 2" thick, the inconvenience and risk this poses are self-evident. So, I guess I am not recommending this method of binding from this particular bindery. Has anybody had similar experiences? If so, how was the problem addressed? --Paul Glassman Art & Architecture Librarian Pratt Institute 200 Willoughby Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11205 Telephone (718) 636-3714 FAX (718) 399-4401 On Thu, 13 Mar 1997, Kim Hale x5355 wrote: > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > Dear colleagues: > > I have two unrelated questions that I am asking for your assistance: > > 1.
