Courier Booking On Solid Investments

Tobin feels that Courier's three primary markets—education, religion and specialty trade—are experiencing solid performances. Education, in particular, shows a lot of promise in light of President Bush's planned initiatives that support increased government spending in this area.

The company acquired Dover Publications, of Mineola, NY, last October. Dover is a publisher of special-interest books with more than 7,000 in-print titles in over 30 specialty categories. Courier will handle the marketing and manufacturing needs for Dover after being its primary manufacturing partner for 50-plus years.
