<FONT size="2">We have audited the accompanying statements of
financial condition for Bowne &#38; Co., Inc. Global Employee
Stock Purchase Plan as of December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2000 and
the related statements of income and changes in plan equity for
each of the years in the two-year period ended December&nbsp;31,
2001, and for the period from July&nbsp;1, 1999 (date of
inception) to December&nbsp;31, 1999. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s Trustees. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Trustees, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In our opinion, the financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Bowne &#38; Co., Inc. Global Employee Stock Purchase
Plan at December&nbsp;31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of its
operations for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December&nbsp;31, 2001, and for the period from July&nbsp;1,
1999 (date of inception) to December&nbsp;31, 1999 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

<FONT size="2">The GESPP was adopted July&nbsp;1, 1999 and is
intended to provide eligible employees who are not residents of
the United States with an opportunity to share, as stockholders,
in the Company&#146;s progress and success and encourage them to
build added financial resources during their careers with the
subsidiaries and affiliates of Bowne &#38; Co., Inc.
(&#147;Bowne&#148; or, collectively, the &#147;Company&#148;).
The Plan allows participants to make deposits from their
periodic pay by payroll deductions into an account held with the
Plan&#146;s fiduciary that will invest in the Common Stock of
Bowne. The company has agreed to reserve 100,000 shares of
