ISI helps AHGS snag prestigious Paul Green Multimedia Award from NCSH

The AHGS cookbook, Recipes That Raised Us, now in its second printing, was the first cookbook ever to win the award, given by the North Carolina Society of Historians, at the 2008 Banquet and Award Ceremony in Hickory on October 11.

Imaging Specialists performed all prepress work including cover photography and design, page design, type setting, illustrations, and photographs. There were 11 illustrations and approximately 125 photographs submitted and printed.

The cookbook is a memorial that includes photos and stories with old timey southern recipes. Copies are available in Sparta at the Alleghany County Public Library, Buxton Abbey, Victoria’s Tea Time, Imaging Specialists, or online at www.spartastore.com. The price is $20 each or $15 each for 3 or more.

Give an unforgetable donation.

We now offer large checks, up to 20 inches tall by 40 inches wide. The checks can have your organization’s logo and name on them, as well as the name of the organization you’re donating to or the person you’re awarding.

As a security measure, we don’t put your real signature or bank account number on the checks. To fill in all the written areas, we use a handwriting font, which is perfectly legible and protects your signature from being copied. We use a fake routing number on the checks.  01020304 0506070809, for example.

Doing so ensures the novelty matches the real one as closely as possible, but doesn’t expose your actual financial information.

We mount the big checks on foam-core board so that it is easy for you to present it. It also is a memorable gift for your recipient.

The next time you’re making a large donation, give a big check.
