Barbara,

Thanks that brings up a point I can use during our discussion.  It 
reminded me of one we recently pulled back that was about 12 years old.  
The author, who was getting ready to retire, wanted to have it reprinted 
before he left.  We sent it to several printers who basically said it no 
longer met their "camera ready standards" because it was a hard copy and 
they used printing and layout software now.  The last I heard we had 
finally located a shop somewhere in the Pacific Northwest that could do it 
but it was going to cost a pretty penny and I think the cost ended up 
being a deal breaker.  Will have to follow up and find out for sure.

Also the ones they're doing now in printing and layout software probably 
won't work in a few years either.  I know we have engineering drawing 
files in the original AutoTrol format that can't be used anymore.
