-
- This different lay-flat binding is called RepKover. It uses a more
- durable and flexible glue process than perfect binding and should address
- all the needs our customers have shared with us over the past few years.
-
- We're implementing it on the bulk of our Nutshell books.
- Programming perl is now available that way.
- Unfortunately there is a "bulk-size" limit for this binding (1 1/8"
- maximum and 1/4" minimum). Mh and xmh exceeds the maximum, so we've
- had to remain with perfect binding for that.
-
- I've gotten no feedback yet on the new binding...which I take as good
- news...but our printer and I would be very interested to know how
- it stands up in the real world.
