OK... here's the situation:

48 page saddle stitch annual pub, 8.5 x 11

Potential advertiser saw a big thick 900 page perfect bound publication with a cloth thread bookmark attached, and a printed card attached to the bottom of the threaded bookmark.

I realize a 48 page saddle stitch is quite a different animal, but we all know, if cost is no object anything can be done...

BUT

I have been unable to locate any printers who can handle ANY threaded bookmark

Anyone have any direction to point me? I have already spent two weeks exhausting my compatriots in design. The advertiser is getting a little cranky. >sigh<

Here are two photos the potential advertiser took of the publication bookmark, so you will understand what i am describing...

This looks like handwork at the bindery stage. The bookmark just looks like basic printing (perhaps laminated) and a hole punch for the ribbon. Then it could be inserted at bindery.

Here's what I found via google:

New Hampshire Bindery, Concord, New Hampshire. Book Binding, book restoration, hardbound, softbound, PUR glue, journals, diplomas, laminating, textbooks, custom stamping, edge staining and gold gilding.
