Re: Journals without wrappers? Geneice McCutchen 29 Jan 2008 14:31 UTC

Dear Kirsty,

I love wrapperless journals!  Very rarely do they get damaged or lose
the address sticker.  It makes sense environmentally, too.
I've been involved with periodicals since 1986 and can't tell you how
much time they save.
