How to make pages lie flat

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Everything About Teaching and Learning the Piano : One Thread

Many music books have bindings that scarcely let the pages stay open, much less lie flat when placed on a music desk. Does anyone have any ideas for dealing with these infuriating publications?

Yes, take them to KINKO's. They will put the plastic wire binding on them for around $3. Get the kind that is like a spiral notebook. I'm sure other office type places have something similar, but the stuff like a spiral notebook is best, the other kind sort of sticks but is still better than regular binding. I think Office Max does it and places that make copies. It is so worth the money!!!

Does anyone know of companies in the UK that offer this? I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Gary -- do you have a Prontaprint in your area? They might do it, or know someone who does. I found one in Burton-upon-Trent.
