Book Facsimile Service

The University of Minnesota has been reproducing books by photocopying and binding them for about ten years, and have provided the service not only to UN libraries, but to other organizations as well, including Avery Library at Columbia University, Ohio State University, Morris Library at Carbondale, and Minneapolis Public Library. The work is done in the bindery, using 50 lb. Glatfelter book text paper and binding the copies to LBI standards. All books are first disbound, and are later returned to the owners. Turnaround time is 4-5 weeks, and prices are reasonable. An information sheet and sample pages are available from Marc Flechsig, University Manager, University of Minnesota Bindery, 2818 Como Ave. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414 (612/373-2884).
