Diane,

Like Michigan, we use the LBS C-cloth. We also rely heavily on their
Conservation Buckram line of cloth. Many of the discontinued C-cloth colors
are now available or are closely matched in the Conservation Buckram. We
like the workability and durability of the cloth, the slight texture is
pleasing, and it comes in a good range of colors if you need to match a
cloth for rebacking.

I'm the bindery coordinator in a mid-sized academic library.  We
perform simple book repair, up to casing in with new endsheets.  I'm
coming to the end of my inherited stock of buckram of unknown
provenance, and thinking about what buckram or other material I should
purchase.
