R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. said profits rose 2 percent in the second quarter, restrained by increased project startup costs and depreciation expenses, a higher effective tax rate and weakness in the magazine and book markets. The Chicago-based commercial printing giant said net income rose to $51.4 million, or 66 cents a share, from $50.3 million, or 65 cents a share, a year earlier. Sales rose 5 percent, to $759.8 million from $722.3 million. Donnelley said its catalog, newspaper inserts, directory, computer
documentation and financial printing businesses operated at good levels in the latest quarter. Donnelley said it continues to project capital spending of $250 million this year.
