BOOKBINDING. STATIONERY. PRINTING.
_Note.--Bookbinding is dealt with in Course I, Lesson 7 on pp. 16-18,
which should be treated as part of the present lesson._
All assistants should be thoroughly familiar, not merely with the
various forms used in their own library, but with the several
variations which are used in others. Study methods of storing
stationery, recording supplies, and note the means of checking supplies
in stock in order to avoid the irritating experience of finding some
particular item out of stock when most urgently required.
The necessary procedure, agreements, and arrangements in dealing with
the printer, and the checking of proof, should be noted.
