ACROSS the nation

ROCHESTER—The Riverside Group, a full-service bindery, was able to skirt a nightmare recently when a truck carrying 137,000 books from a customer split in half the moment it reached the company's loading dock. Working carefully to avoid further damage, The Riverside Group was able to salvage all 22 lots and provide perfect binding and diecutting for the project. A crane was brought in to lift the center of the broken trailer, and the skids were removed using a special fork lift, reports Fred Daubert, company vice president.
