[edit] Some remarks of appreciation

I first encountered Dover through their clip-art books. A few years later, as I became an avid book collector, I discovered their extensive line of reprints. Then, when I studied math in college, I was pleased to discover they also have a line of mathematical texts. I guess this posting is little more than a free plug, but what the heck. -Sewing - talk 03:48, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I think it's worth an entry. I love their music texts and other notable publishers have books. To do: A history of the company, list of what they publish.--Sketchee 03:35, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Binding change

At some point, most Dover editions ceased to be sewn. Does anyone have a good reference on when this happened, &c? —SlamDiego 10:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Must have been the late 1960. The early 70s books had a problem with losing pages and the plastic coating on the covers delaminating. They seem to have fixed this. Erikdhanson 08:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Nah, most of them were still sewn together in the '70s. (I know, 'cause I was buying 'em.) I do recall that delamination problem, tho'. —SlamDiego 04:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] naming

Anyone know why they chose the name Dover? —Tamfang 18:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
