It's A Small World After All

I spent the bulk of my finishing career in the mailing and commercial bindery environment. I never had the chance to spend a lot of time in the traditional hard-cover bookbinder's world. My first exposure was in listening to Professor (now Emeritus) Werner Rebsamen at the Annual Research and Engineering Council Of The Graphic Arts. He was (and still is) our "go-to" guy for all things hard cover. Werner spent most of his life in the bookbinding trade, and has literally traveled the world assisting printers (and governments) solve their bindery problems.
