[PADG:226] Boxes for Japanese and Chinese Books: Clarification

["Robert J. Milevski" <milevski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Based upon the response so far to my query, I believe that a clarification, 
or rather a missing piece of information, is necessary.  We are looking for 
a vendor to fabricate traditional Chinese and Japanese boxes/wrappers.  You 
have seen these, undoubtedly: blue cloth, usually; 9 pieces; bone closures 
and loops.  The whole nine yards.  Nothing else will do.
