I apologize for the previous post. Missed a day of work and my staff
neglected to tell me that we've activated this newsgroup.
We reinforce in house with self adhesive plastic covers and
carboard pamphelt binders because we've found that paperbacks
don't hold up (we circulate), nor do they stand up very
well on the shelves without reinforcing.
Doing it in house speeds up processing time.
