Default Re: Mason: 2+2 Book Binding changes in 2005?

Unfortunately the new tightly bound 2005 editions don't "open" as much as their predecessors, and this not only results in more spine creases but I assume the probability of pages falling out in the long run may also be increased.

Just the opposite is correct.

It is for these reasons that I thought maybe you changed printers, to cut costs

As we have stated before, we have gone to a different, much more expensive glue (that is also much more difficult to apply). This glue is far more flexible and musch stronger than standard "hot melt" book binding glue. Thus our recent printings can withstand much more abuse than what is normal for books in their class.

Thanks for explaining the 'glue' thing Mason.

I'm sure the positives outweigh the negatives but the books are alot more rigid now with some of the words closer to the middle of the book, just'll take a little getting used to I guess.

Cheers,
