Compiled by Dick Rauh

Included here are sources and information not readily available, especially to those outside large metropolitan areas, except via the Internet. The information is current as of 2002, as could be best determined. Usually, toll-free (800) numbers are intended for orders only. Listings here are generally in the sequence in which their subjects are discussed at length in this book, but they are not listed by chapters because a number of topics are covered in more than one chapter.

ART SUPPLY SOURCES

Listed below are art suppliers that stock a wide variety of materials for graphics work or that have discounted prices. Some suppliers provide both advantages. Sale prices at the non-discount stores can be better than the discounted prices. All of these suppliers produce catalogs, including sales brochures, and accept mail, phone or Internet orders. Several have branch offices in other cities in the United States or in other countries, which may be more convenient than the central office listed here. In many cases the web page will indicate retail outlets by location.
