[athen] Re: [adtech-ps] Alternative formatting station

[Cassandra Tex]

Good point James about the cutting and binding...

Our Graphics department will "trim" (cut the bindings off) for free and 
re-bind with either a spiral or comb binding (depending on the size of the 
book) for a nominal fee - anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 per book.  We could 
buy a comb binding machine with the money we're paying our Graphics 
department to rebind the books, but personally, I'm too busy to be in the 
binding business.
