I have a favourite Quilting "go to " book, but due to over use, it started falling apart. I was devastated.
Then the light bulb went off.
I took it to my local "Staples" office supply store and asked if they could rebind it. They could!! They could rebind it with a spiral binding and it cost less than $10.
I should have done it ages ago. Now it stays open when I'm using it!
Next time I get a new book that isn't already spiral bound, I may just take it in and have it done right away.

A couple of my favorites are in pieces, but I bought plastic sleeve protectors, put my pages in those and then put the sleeves in a binder. These are pages that I need one by one, and I usually need to copy or enlarge, so the loose sleeve protectors work great.

Most of my books are spiral bound. I take them to Staples and they usually get them done in less that an hour and it only costs $6.00. It's great to have them lay flat and they can go into my printer if necessary. I thought everyone knew about this.
