Keeping Binding 'In The Fold'

UC's bindery, however, doesn't bind typical printed material. It handles a great deal of repair work. Library books that are old, but still useful, are sent there for repair. That repair can include replacing the old binding by oversewing, ultrabinding or double fan adhesive binding by hand.

"Each book is different," says Dave Martinelli, manager of Library Book Binderies. "That's why we're different."
