Seattle Bindery Newsletter: Issue #3. We welcome your comments.

1. Well, here’s the other side of the e-books controversy. Despite consumers’ apparent reluctance to embrace digital books, students at the University of Texas in Austin are happily buying them up. According to the NY Times, the university has a $1 million budget to increase its collection
of digital books. Others jumping onto the book conversion bandwagon in a big way: netLibrary, Random House, Barnes and Noble, Simon & Schuster and, of course, our very own Microsoft.

2. We still get the "Oh, we didn’t know you did that!" regarding our tabbing services. So here’s a reminder: We do tabs! Plain tabs, Mylar-reinforced tabs, color-coded tabs, and banked and overlapping tab sets. Give us a call. We can help you determine which is best for your customers’ projects.

3. In its most recent Fast Facts e-newsletter, TrendWatch posits this question regarding Internet printing services: "Printers don’t buy new technology until they first lose business to it. For decades, this cautious view has saved them billions in mis-spent investments . . . We wonder,
though, if today’s ‘Internet time’ will be another barrier for printers?"  Where’s our crystal ball when we need it!

4. If you haven’t gotten one of our Foil Selector Guides, give us a call. We produced the Guides to help you help your customers select the right foil for their jobs. Selections include samples of gold, pearlescent and special order foils such as holographic and marbleized designs.

5. Tooting our horn a little, The International Association of Printing House Craftsmen bestowed a Bronze Award on Seattle Bindery’s corporate identity package in its recent Gallery of Superb Printing awards. Our thanks to Printing Control and The Copy Company for their work on the project.

From all of us at Seattle Bindery, have a happy and safe holiday season and a very happy New Year!
