[MCN-L] Digital Publishing

[director at neenahhistoricalsociety.org]

We have published a few paperbound books -- mostly reprints of old directories and catalogs, but we recently did a local church history. We ran the pages on an ordinary laser printer, did the covers in color on an inkjet printer which we laminated on one side. We bound the books using a tabletop hot glue binding machine. It's not very complicated or time-consuming. But we're typically doing five to 20 books at a time. It's not worth the trouble to do fewer than five. I think we'd go crazy if we had to do 50 or more books at one time, as we don't have space to store the work-in-process.
