Re: [BKARTS] Book repair equipment wanted

[Ann Frellsen <libavf@EMORY.EDU>]

For our book repair facility I've purchased used/refurbished equipment
from American Graphic Arts:
http://www.agamachinery.com/

They have board shears, guillotines, etc.

For presses and ploughs (which trims the text block) try:
Bookmakers --  http://www.bookmakerscatalog.com/
TALAS  -- http://www.talasonline.com/
Gaylord -- http://www.gaylordmart.com/
University Products -- http://www.universityproducts.com/main2.html

The only vendor I know with the board crimper for making phase boxes is
Hollinger -- http://www.hollingercorp.com/


Hope this is helpful,
