Great idea especially if it a book you refer to often. Thanks!

This is nice to know...and it's not very expensive...it is annoying to lose the page you're on. I have a couple cookbooks that I'd like to see spiral bound. Thanks for the tip!

BooHoo, Wish I had a LazerQuick near by! I took a book to Staples (my only office supply box store nearby) and they don't do it! I have a few books I'd love to have done this way! I really love some of the newer sewing books that have this feature. Makes using them so much easier when using as a reference while sewing!

Marvelous solution! I did this with a KwikSew Master Pattern book and it was soooo handy! The only problem is, the spiral binding doesn't identify the book when it's on my bookshelf. I think I'll use different colors for identification. Also, in response to Ann Chafin's comment, some office supply stores call spiral binding different things--comb binding, velo binding, etc. so (hopefully) Staples was confused. My hometown (non-Staples) office supply store didn't know what it was until I explained it to them; then they called it something entirely different! So when I'm realdy to do it again, I'll take the book in.

What a great idea. I'll have to check around here for someplace like that.

Ann, if you have a Kinkos nearby, they'll spiral bind it for you.

Beth, and others, you can use a Sharpie to write the title on the spine. Or use a mailing label and write on it.

Very good idea. I think I will also do that with all the tips and things I have printed off the internet.

A quilting buddy suggested this to me awhile ago. I love it and I get mine done at my local Staples. So many quilters have been coming in that they know what we want when they see us walk in the door! LOL!
