Default Favourite book falling apart

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.

I have went to Kinkos with many quilt books to have this done - the books are so much easier to use

tjradj, I had the same thing happen to me and also went to Staples. You are right, it's great. Next time I have a book that I use all the time, I will also take it the office store and get it spiral bound. I was surprised at the cost to do this. I thought it was inexpensive.

I am trying to get all my books spiral bound. It is great and surprisingly inexpensive. The last ones I had done were only $3

I do that with all my Paper Piecing books then they lay flat when I want to copy them for the pattern. Kinko's is my go too.
