Do you use a commercial binder? Our bindery rep. (at my previous job, where
I had bindery responsibility) was extremely helpful in solving problem items
like these. Sometimes a volume can have "stubbing" added to normalize the
size of the volume and reduce the binding stress.

Another factor you have to consider -- will binding the taller issue require
it to be shelved in a different location? In many places where I have
worked, this means shifting the full run of the journal to the oversize
area... <sigh>.

And just think -- someone at the publisher's probably just thought the
different size would LOOK better for some reason. <repeat sigh>

I would appreciate your suggestions on binding a volume when one issue
is oversized.  The Aug. 2000 issue of Geospatial Solutions measures 10
3/4" x 14 1/2" while the rest of the issues for that year measure 8" x
10 3/4".  I'm at a  loss and would appreciate your input.
