When I bought my Farmers Wife Sample book, I decided to have it spiral bounded right away for continued use, with 110 blocks (last summer), I figure the book wouldn't make it. It was the best thing ever. Now I am going to do the Rosie sample quilt with the QB group in Sept, and looking at it "again" last night, I decided I would also spiral bind it too. Less then $6.00 and took about 30 minutes to have done at a local printing shop. Wished the authors would think about this when they have it published, cause it would be a lot more handy for us quilters.
Years ago, as I worked on some college publishing projects, I had a favorite "chocolate" cookbook that was falling apart (the one with the no-bake chocolate oatmeal drops), and I mentioned it to the dept. head, and he suggested I try putting a spiral binding on it. I was so thrilled (I think my DS was more so - his favorite recipe was in it), I will have that book till my DS inherits it.
