RE: [padg] Shelf-ready Binding

[<Valinda.Carroll@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was informed that all of the volumes receiving tattle tapes from
Blackwell's would have double-sided strips placed in "random" locations
in the textblock.  The spine option was not available for hardcover
monographs in publisher's bindings, nor for vendor-bound paperbacks.
Fortunately, we still do in-house processing for our non-Blackwell
items.

Hi Valinda,

Just one question of clarification regarding shelf-ready books you get
from 
Blackwell -- are you saying that ALL the books that come shelf-ready
have 
the tattle-tapes in the textblock rather than in the spine??  Regardless
of 
whether the binding is the publisher's binding or a vendor pre-binding?
I, 
too, try to avoid tattle-tapes in the textblock whenever possible.

We have been investigating the possibility of using some of Blackwell's 
shelf-ready services, but have concluded that they would cost us 350%
more 
than our current in-house processing.  However, we didn't hear this
detail 
about the tattle-tape placement.

Thanks for the clarification.
