Composition Westchester Book Group's composition divisions
handle the typesetting needs of a diverse group of clients. Trade and
mass market composition work is the specialty of Westchester Book
Composition, while academic, reference, educational, and professional
composition are the core business of Binghamton Valley Composition. Our
offshore keyboarding operation in St. Lucia, West Indies, handles file
conversion, disk editing, and double keyboarding.
Westchester Book Composition
Founded
in 1969 in Westchester County, New York, Westchester Book Composition
primarily serves the typesetting needs of trade and mass market
publishing companies in New York City. In 1987 the company was
purchased by Rainsford Type, an academic and professional book
compositor, and relocated just across the state line in Danbury,
Connecticut. Currently, we employ over 90 trained professionals in the
areas of markup, Quark and Penta page layout, graphics, and proofing.
Our focus continues to be in the trade market, for which we typeset
over 2,500 new titles annually.
Binghamton Valley Composition
Purchased
in 1997 from the Maple-Vail Book Manufacturing Group, this facility is
now our primary center for composition of educational and professional
books. We handle projects from simple monographs to highly complex
reference titles, technical manuals, and 4-color textbooks. Located in
Binghamton, New York, this facility has a staff of over 30 employees.
Windward Ltd.
We
manage our own offshore keyboarding operation, to ensure that double
keyboarding, disk editing, file conversion, and XML tagging can be done
quickly and accurately. The facility is located on St. Lucia, one of
the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. Work is
transferred back and forth electronically, and our 200 operators are
specifically trained to handle keyboarding and coding for book
composition.
