Courier's Revenues, Net Income Rebound in First Quarter

The book manufacturing segment focuses on three publishing markets: education, religion, and specialty trade. Sales to the education market were up 15% in the quarter due to increased sales of four-color textbooks for colleges and universities. Sales to the specialty trade market were flat from a year ago, though four-color trade sales were up. Sales to the religious market were up 12% from last year’s first quarter.
