Hello,

We stopped binding periodicals several years ago except for special collections, which has its own budget.  The expense and staff time wasn’t worth the effort involved.

Hello,

We usually bind around 60 volumes a year.  The bindery HF Group used to pick up and return our serials by truck, but now they are requiring us to mail.  I am sure the shipping will be a large percentage of our budget.

Has anyone else experienced this situation?  What bindery do you use?  We are located in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  Maybe we'll have to bind a smaller amount.

Thank you for your help.
