Cheri - I used to be an editor at Naylor. As far as I know, they still have
editors in Toronto and for sure in the US (none in Winnipeg). However, the
other week Naylor did layoff its entire production department in Winnipeg -
graphic designers, proofreaders, etc, about 42 people in all - outsourced to
a company in New Jersey, who may in turn be outsourcing overseas, not sure.
