Art Reblitz asked if we could be of any help on the reworking of the
printing flats when the Bower's Encyclopedia was reprinted.  Unfortun-
ately, no.  This was all done by National Book Service.  As I recall,
it took longer than expected, and I used to have some details but have
forgotten them.  I think the flats had deteriorated over time, and had
to be re-copied (re-photographed?).
