Re: [BKARTS] German bookbinding supplies

[Peter Verheyen <verheyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are numerous sources of supplies in Germany. In Hamburg there is 
Schmedt <http://www.schmedt.de>. There is also Geräte, Material und 
Werkzeuge für Papierrestauratoren <http://www.gmw-gabikleindorfer.de/> 
which has a webshop. Another approach would be to do a search on Google.de 
<http://www.google.de> for buchbinderbedarf. This can be narrowed down by 
city. There is also an online (national) Yellow Pages (Gelbe Seiten) at 
<http://www.gelbeseiten.de/yp/quick.yp> Use the same search term 
Buchbinderbedarf but add your city/postal code.

You might also suggest that they ask on the Bücher Binden list at 
<http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/buecher_binden/>.

If these friends learned the trade in Germany, they should also be aware of 
vendors and sources for information. It's all pretty much a require for 
getting your Gesellenbrief (Journeyman status) and certainly expected for 
Meister.

Hope this helps.

Peter
