Disappointed with book binding

Well, the last couple days I've been reading Proficient Motorcycling. I have to say, THIS BINDING SUX! :x

Brand new book and every time I turn a page it falls out of the spine!

I think I've read this before somewhere. Anyway, anyone else have a problem with their Hough books? I guess I've got no choice if I want to keep them intact than to punch them and stick them in a binder. Sure, not hard to do, but dang it, brand new books shouldn't do that! I paid a fair price, where's the quality!?!? That is ridiculous.

Bah! :shock:

Well, I just left a review on Amazon where I purchased it. You'd think someone associated with the book would take notice and actually work on resolving that problem.

:| I've heard of this problem an awful lot from Bowtie or however makes the book.

Still, don't let a poorly constructed book scare you away from an unparalleled wealth of knowledge.

I keep wanting to post mine has been read a half dozen times by me and lent out to a few friends and it's fine, but then it would fall apart immediatly after I hit "Submit."

Finally found a copy. Should I save myself the trouble and put it in a binder now? lol. Just got it last night so we will see how it goes.

Have a great one and ride safe.

Is there some way to identify a batch of books? Some # or something?? Maybe start a list.


deedee, I'd vote for binding it yourself right away

Judging from the title, the reviews and descriptions online, it's not in the same vein as Hough's book.

Besides, look how well Sport Riding Techniques worked out for your Custom Scratched bike. :wink:
