PI 400 -- Books - Judging a Book

Robert Uhlenhop, president and CEO of Von Hoffmann Press, agrees that certain segments of the book printing industry have taken harder hits this year. And there may be more fallout in the near future.

"The economy has had a larger impact on our commercial markets than the education markets at the present time, although I anticipate that it will have hurt the education division in 2002," Uhlenhop contends. "The impact of the economy on the funding priorities of state and local governments is uncertain."
