[PADG:2281] Re: sewn on endsheets from commercial binder?

["Werner C Haun" <whau@xxxxxxx>]

Most often our commercial binder doesn't sew on endsheets for recases. 
Every so often we'll get one of these items sent to us where the
text-block has come loose from the case.  Although, this is fairly
simple to repair or to resend to the bindery.  In the past our binder
had sometimes whip-stitched on the endsheets, & I have seen even
non-brittle pages break along the sewing.

We've also been successful in using the Z client interface between our
Voyager ILS & LARS to process monographs.  The Head of our Binding
Section has said it works great.  Here we are able to scan a LCCN
barcode located on the verso of the title page to import the
bibliographic information, but you can select from other MARC fields as
well.

My apologies for not be more specific about my query on sewing on
endsheets.  Inhouse we also sew on endsheets just as most of the replies
suggest, but I am interested in knowing if anyone's commercial binder
sews on endsheets for recases. Thanks in advance for responses.
