Upon receipt, your original volume or document is assessed: we count pages, note color plates and fold-outs, and measure the overall size of the volume. We handle each fold-out and plate according to your instructions and often make color copies for maps and color plates. After photocopying, each book is examined and collated. Photocopied fold-outs are assembled exactly as they appeared in the original volume. The volumes are inspected again after they are bound.

Pages are reproduced on an opaque paper of appropriate weight which meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO 14416 (2003) for printed library materials. This paper has a pH of 8.4 and a 2.4 percent calcium carbonate reserve.

The method of leaf attachment - double-fan adhesive binding or oversewing - is dependent upon the size of the volume. Covers may be linen-finish buckram or C-cloth.

We guarantee the clarity, pagination, and registration of the pages copied from disbound volumes, matching or exceeding the quality of the original.
