Graphic Arts Monthly Folds

Reed Business Information (RBI), a division of Reed-Elsevier, which has been searching since last summer for a buyer of many of its business-to-business publications, announced through an internal memo last week that it is folding 23 of those books, including Graphic Arts Monthly (GAM), Converting magazine and the Graphic Arts Blue Book. GAM, which competed directly with IPG's sister publication Printing Impressions, had been published for 82 years.
