At the local Zucker Institute for Applied Neurosciences, constructing 3-D spine implants for patients accounts for about 30 percent of all the institute’s projects. To create those devices, a laser beam builds up layers of powder over and over until the implant takes shape, said Mark Semler, an engineer at the institute.

Dutton and Mr. Green are hoping that younger readers from a generation that grew up with the internet and smartphones might be receptive to the concept of a miniature flipbook.

In terms of time investment, definitely Madame Curie: A Biography by Eve Curie. I was browsing a booth at Tucson Festival of Books, and it was right there for a pretty reasonable price. I’d been wanting to add a copy to my collection after I’d read a few chapters for an undergraduate research project and adding a copy to my collection had always been on my to do list, but I hadn’t gotten around to it. I really like finding something for the collection when I’m just generally browsing–it feels like a very happy coincidence.

With the BindTech purchase, Signet adds a broad client list in a trade binding/finishing industry that is shrinking rapidly through attrition and consolidation.

Bohme said ebooks sales would continue to decline in 2017, barring a new development in e-reader technology. “One thing we’ve seen is that when print sales surge, industry confidence in the print increases.

As for the actual items in the collection, I’ve acquired them during my travels in the Americas, Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia over the past ten years or so. They include: apocalyptic ephemera from Evangelicals and Jehovah’s Witnesses; hypnosis and mind time travel manuals; New Age, self-help, cult, occult and UFO literature; implicitly colonialist tourist guides and ethnographies; promotional literature from fossil-fuel extraction interests in the developing world; sundry reprehensible kitsch, conspiracy theory and pseudoscience. Then there’s the stuff from the ex-Eastern Bloc that the locals are mostly carelessly casting off: old GDR text books, ethno-fairy tales from the non-Russian peoples of the Soviet sphere and keepsakes from various international Communist meetups; Russian and Bulgarian children’s books about outer space and DIY-science magazines; East and West German books, comics, records and movies about American cowboys and especially Indians. Finally, I also have small collections of pre-war German cigarette-card books, American 80’s stationary and greeting cards, Mexican pornographic comics, Melodiya albums (the state-owned record label of the USSR) from Soviet Central Asia especially Uzbekistan and psychedelic fabrics from Azerbaijan.

Kodak once touted 2000 as a landmark year, when the number of photos taken worldwide first eclipsed 80 billion. Fast forward to 2017, when just about everyone has a cellphone camera in their back pocket, and that figure jumped to a staggering 1.2 trillion digital photos.

Put each recipe on its own page, and place the recipes in the order you want them to appear in the cookbook. It also helps to organize them alphabetically within each section.

Using environmentally friendly materials such as vegetable inks made in the United States, Write Notepads produces limited edition and regional specific notepads in order to create excitement over the product. For example, Rothe said its line of Edgar Allan Poe-themed notepads sold out.

Glass said that his mechanical background has come in handy since he and his wife began running the business. In one case, she said, he was able to figure out, with the help of a YouTube video, how to repair a paper-folding and scoring machine and he had been told was inoperative when he purchased the business.
