We use Bridgeport. We have a 4 week turnaround time. Some other colleges have a 2 week turnaround for regular binding. It depends on the amount of volumes in each shipment. Preservation photocopying is a separate matter, done by one person at the bindery, therefore it does take longer. When I first started doing the bindery shipments, I was sent a packet of info from Bridgeport. There is a standard layout for spine labeling. Anything that deviates from the standard layout is an extra charge as I imagine it involves that the changes are done by hand. Sometimes I get grad students who have specific requests for the labeling of their bound theses copies and they do pay an extra fee. We have never been unhappy with their work.

The completed work is handsome. However, they have been, as a rule, fairly slow to return materials dispatched for that purpose. I am assuming from the comments of others that they may be on a fairly regular schedule with regard to the return of periodical issues bound. Personally, I like to have some options as to how the lettering will appear on the spine (fonts and positioning). Mutual provides for that in their standard work orders. The instructions I have sent to Bridgeport in this regard were sand in their gears. IW I.
