Just did. For $11.87 and a few hours wait, my copies of Proficient Motorcycling and More Proficient Motorcycling are now spiral bound. I did the wire binding since I've had problems with the plastic ones in the past.
Thanks for the tip. I was going to get a 3 ring binder and a bunch of plastic covers but your idea sounds much better.

I thought about that, but this way it'll be a little less bulky, can lay flat when open, and I can just flip it over if I just want to focus on one page. Should be pretty useful.

LOL. No kidding. I'm two chapters in and have literally loosened dozens of pages from the spine. Maybe I'm an aggressive reader :twisted:

I don't think it's you. My copy is falling apart as well, about halfway through.

Mine are doing the same thing. I'm too lazy to send them back tho. Guess I'll put some elmer's glue in the binding.
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Well, it's the first book I've read reviews for at Amazon, and read more comments on the book's binding problems than the book itself. I think it must be a pretty widespread thing.

Didn't stop me from ordering one a couple days ago though.

just get it rebound at a copy place. It cost me 3 bucks and its much nicer because its a coil binding so you can fold the book back on itself.
