That's what I have had done with a lot of my paper-piecing books. It's lot easier when I need to copy something. I've had mine done at Kinko's and I think it was about $7.00 for the last one I did.

I got a HUGE 3-ring binder from Staples and some sheet protectors (all ready 3-hole punched) and only keep the patterns/tips I think I will use. It works great and all my sheets are in protective sleeves and easy to remove and use. Just a thought.

I have mine done at Staples. I called several print shops in my area and Staples was the cheapest. I signed up for a Staples Rewards card and now get 10% off. The only problem I've had is they ruined my Dear Jane Book. I can still use the book, but they said someone didn't clean the machine out properly and about 20 pages were cut off too close to the edge and they didn't get into the binding. I have to handle the book carefully so I don't tear the pages. I wasn't very happy with them.

Hobby Lobbyk Miachels and I think maybe Joanns and most scrapbooking stores have personal book binding machines for sale you might want to look there if you have a lot to bind and want your own setup. I do not know what they cost

What staples are you using, mine takes minutes to an hour depending on how backed up they are. I have never heard of four days unless they send it out to a bigger staples cause they don't have the machine for the type of binding you want. Binders can be quite expensive

If you live in a town with a college, ask if you can use their machine (usually at the LRC for student use) if you bring your own bindings.Not sure how you would cut the existing bindings off. I think I might be inclined to copy the pages I want and just put them in sheet protectors in a 3 ring binder.
