Re: Trim cost for binders Diane Paldan 25 Sep 2006 20:53 UTC

Not unusual in my experience.  Hand trim needed is on end sheets so
textblock (which is untrimmed) fits properly to case.  So more manual labor
-- added cost. At least that is what I remember.  Those with more binding
background -- please correct me if I have this wrong.
