The E-Sylum:  Volume 8, Number 24, June 12, 2005, Article 11

A DIRTY JOB

Bill Malkmus writes: "In case no one else picked up on it,
Wednesday's Wall Street Journal (June 8, 2005) had a front-
page article (pp. A1, A7) about Dunn & Co. of Clinton,
Massachusetts. Their shtick is repairing books for publishers
who have made boo-boos (like misspelling "Massachusetts,"
misidentifying an author on the title page, or dropping the last
line in a book, ...) and, rather than republishing, rely on them
to have at the books one by one and make repairs manually
(cutting out old pages, tipping in replacements by hand and
such). A dirty job and they're the ones who have to do it!"
