Both sales and income rose at Courier in their fiscal first quarter, ending December 28, with revenues of $73 million (up 12 percent) and earnings of $2.6 million (up 9 percent). The company “reported strong sales growth in all three of its principal book manufacturing markets of education, religious and specialty trade.” Their publishing division was flat at $9.1 million, while the operating loss was cut in half to $600,000, “largely driven by improvements at Dover, which broke even in the quarter.”
