NMPS in Chicago

Steve Stinehour and Michael Ames just spent three days in Chicago at the National Museum Publishing Seminar. We met a lot of new people and also reconnected with many of our long-time customers. We had a chance to attend seminars each day covering topics ranging from book design, binding, offset alternatives for small print runs, social media, and electronic publishing. It was also a great chance to see what some of our competitors have been producing in Italy, China, and throughout the U.S. Here’s our table:

And here is Steve with Judy Bloch from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
