Potter Book Draws Attention to RRD Plant

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IN—It’s not often that a print job generates hushed, reverent tones and giddy anticipation, but this small town here has become the focus of media scrutiny. And for good reason.

RR Donnelley’s Crawfordsville book printing facility is one of several that had the honor of manufacturing “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which went on sale last Saturday at 12:01 a.m. While Donnelley would not confirm or deny having the contract, the company in the past told PRINTING IMPRESSIONS that it had printed large quantities of J.K. Rowling’s series.
