Book Binder!
2007/04/24,02:20
Through the narrow streets in the city, I searched for a good binder. Yes, I wanted to have a couple of books that I consider as my treasure to be preserved. After some pointers from people around, I found this place.
The watchman / Security guard of this print house, spoke in English fluently. That is a rare sight to see in the city where people speak only their regional language.
I was even more surprised, when the guard asked me to meet the managing director of the print house. I entered the artistically decorated room. It reminded me off my first job in a publishing company. The MD greeted me and explained me why those books should not be bound. He explained with a great deal of interest, the nature of the binding the books have and that if any additional work is done on the books, how un-readable the books will become. He suggested me to buy some PVC pouch if my objective is tio preserve the coversheets and asked me to handle the books with care.
Easily some one could have made a quick money on the job, but he did not. I thanked him and also collected his business card....
