Hi Folks...
Just a note that Theodora and Don have retired from running Theodon
(formerly Davis & Futernick) after many years due to age and health
issues. They were just great people! The business has been taken over
by an arm of Northwest Library Binding, Inc. My associate Kathleen
Fisher has been working with them directly. The only thing I heard is
that they will no longer be having color swatches. You will have to
judge the colors from whatever your resolution is on the web. (We will
miss having Theodora call to warn us that we asked for blue color 76,
when we had always previously used blue color 49! The kind of caring
service we always received from Theodora and Don may be becoming a thing
of the past. It was like having an extra staff member to take care of
the little details/glitches that might have gotten past us.
But I don't think Theodora and Don would ever have sold out to any
company that wouldn't do a good job!

Hi Bruce,
Theodon Bindery took over for Milford and have done a
pretty good job for us. And because we're a former Milford customer,
they bound our materials at Milford prices.

I am looking for a local, reliable, and hopefully
reasonably priced bindery. I rarely need bindery services and with
Milford out of business I find myself bindery-less. Any suggestions?
