Benny (Best of Category)
Category Name: Adhesive Binding: Stepped or Indexed Products
Title of Entry: Drop Designs

2500 books. 22 pages + 7 dividers + cover 8 ˝” x 11” perfect bound book. The text and dividers were cut, diecut, gathered, PUR perfect bound, trimmed at head and foot and 3-hole drilled.
