Big books

[spud9000]

I use Three hole punch paper for the books and then get the three hole punch covers at the office depot. Then put the books together with plastic zip ties tighten them up with a pair of side cutters, then cut off excess the large end of the tie will hide in the hole. This presses all the pages together tight I have not had a book come apart in over 5 years. Also be sure to print the books with waterproof ink, the covers I have have lasted for over five years. PS use two zip ties (usually 11" or bigger) on the book both go through center hole then out to outer hole

Hi All,

Do an internet search for "Post" Binders.. they are made using straight posts that thread together. The pages will turn just like being in a regular book spine. The posts can be unscrewed when you like, and more pages added.

If you have a more "permanent" book (re-printed maybe once a year, or two, three, etc) then you can also cut the page height 1/2" smaller and use a heat sealer on the page sleeves to prevent any liquid from getting inside.

Purchasing a heat sealer is a much cheaper (although more labor intensive) than re-printing everything with waterproof ink.

I am also working on an idea for a binder retrofit that will eliminate this problem for good.

Food for thought,

Scoob

Napa Auto, and most auto parts stores, also have the shrink tubing; if that is the way you are going to go. I used it for my cd binders when I was still using discs.
