[NHCOLL-L:3236] hard copy catalog

[Lisa Gatens]

Dear Collections Folks,

We are rapidly approaching the end of our paper catalog and so I now 
seek advice on finding the next volume.  For various reasons we are not 
ready to give up on the "book" version of a catalog and go only with the 
electronic catalog (database).  The last volume is about 2.5" thick with 
space for ~10,000 specimen entries, constructed of good quality binding 
and rag paper with the heading for each field printed at the tops of 
each page. 

A local book binding company is asking ~$1,100 for a similar volume.  
This seems pretty steep to me.  If anyone could recommend a source for 
such a book we would be greatly appreciative.  Or if this really is what 
we should expect to pay, then it would be good to know that as well.

Thanks,
Lisa
