This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Thomas J. Tisch with respect to the Common Stock of Gunther International Ltd. (the "Company"). Except as amended herein, the statement on Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended and supplemented, remains in full force and effect.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The source of the $6,836,952 that was used by Gunther Partners, LLC to purchase 13,673,904 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of subscription rights on November 28, 2001 was working capital of Gunther Partners, LLC.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

As of the date of this statement, the aggregate number and percentage of the outstanding Common Stock (based upon a total 19,372,200 shares as of November 30, 2001, as reported in the Company’s Form 8-K dated November 30, 2001) held by those indicated below was as follows:

Name of Holder	Shares Held Currently	Shares Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants*	Total	Percent of Class

Gunther Partners, LLC	13,673,904	0	13,673,904	70.6%

Four-Fourteen Partners, LLC	494,189	1,658,941	2,153,130	10.2

Total	14,168,093	1,658,941	15,827,034	75.3

On October 2, 1998 the Company issued to Gunther Partners, LLC warrants exercisable between January 1, 1999 and October 1, 2003 at $1.50 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or distribution, stock split, combination or reclassification) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 35% of the pro forma, fully diluted number of shares outstanding after including (i) all Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of exercise, (ii) all Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any then exercisable rights, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock and (iii) all Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any securities then convertible into Common Stock, but excluding (x) Common Stock issued after October 2, 1998 in a bona fide public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or (y) Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering consummated on December 20, 1993, all of which have subsequently expired. On November 17, 1998, Gunther Partners, LLC distributed these warrants to its members, consisting of Four-Fourteen Partners, LLC, Robert Spiegel, Richard Spiegel 1987 Trust and Thomas M. Steinberg, all of whom succeeded to the obligations of Gunther Partners, LLC under a Voting Agreement dated as of October 2, 1998. However, the Voting Agreement was terminated upon the repayment by the Company of all of the unpaid debt issued under the Omnibus Agreement, dated as of October 2, 1998 (see the letter dated November 28, 2001, which is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Amendment No. 8), and as a result, the shares which were

previously reported as being jointly owned by Thomas J. Tisch, Robert Spiegel and Thomas M. Steinberg are no longer treated as jointly owned. The calculation of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is based upon there being outstanding as of November 30, 2001 3,372,200 shares of Common Stock, other warrants to purchase 106,666 shares of Common Stock and options to purchase 313,000 shares of Common Stock, but not the 16,000,000 shares issued by the Company in the rights offering on November 28, 2001, since they are excluded in the calculation of the pro forma, fully diluted number of shares outstanding for purposes of the warrants.

By virtue of his status as manager of Gunther Partners, LLC and manager of Four-Fourteen Partners, LLC, Thomas J. Tisch may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares held by Gunther Partners, LLC and Four-Fourteen Partners, LLC and to have shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
Securities of the Issuer.

On October 24, 2001, the Company commenced a pro rata rights offering to its stockholders, allowing the stockholders to subscribe for and purchase additional shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to a Standby Purchase Agreement dated October 24, 2001 between the Company and Gunther Partners, LLC, Gunther Partners, LLC agreed to subscribe for and purchase from the Company a number of shares equal to 16,000,000 less the number of shares subscribed for and purchased by the Company’s stockholders other than Gunther Partners, LLC, up to a maximum of 14,000,000 shares. Upon completion of the rights offering, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 28, 2001, Gunther Partners, LLC sold to the Company the 919,569 shares of Common Stock it had agreed to purchase from the Estate of Harold S. Geneen pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement dated June 25, 2001 that was filed as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 7 to this statement on Schedule 13D.
