This and that

If you have a Kinko's near you I believe they can make it into a spiral
bound book for you. I don't know how much it costs.

There's one not far from me. I'll check it out.

p.s. Thanks all for the suggestions

I have been intending for some time now to buy a (used) hardback copy.
There are more and better illustrations in the hardcover, but by the
time I found out about this book it was OOP, so I had to make do with
the paperback. The only thing stopping me is that I am also seeking a
copy of Barbara Kafka's Healthy Microwave Cooking, which, in a fit of
misplaced economy, I failed to buy when it was new, thinking that I
could simply adapt from her Microwave Gourmet.

Alibris has the Wilson book but I didn't drill down to see if they've got the
Kafka one. I"ve never ordered anything from them; they seem to be a combination
of their warehouse and a network of resellers. Here's a link:

http://www.alibris.com/booksearch

I am trying to find a source which has both, so I can get them with one order.

The cost of shipping and handling is a *itch. I thought I'd take advantage of a
'wonderful' deal from Omaha Steaks but when I found that the s/h would be
almost $20 on each order, I never followed through.

Have you looked at Ruth Kerns' Bookshop? She is the one who doest the shops
at the national seminars for ANG & EGA, and has a website. Anyhow - my
eventual point is - Ruth carries used copies of OOP books, as well as
whatever she may have found. Tons and tons of needlework books. Might be
worth looking.

They, the borrowers and blackholes, are back!!! This time, they have

It's not at all hard to bind a book, especially if you're one of those
measure-twice-cut-once sorts of people. I wouldn't try to type out the
instructions here, as they're pretty detailed and need illustrations,
but I learned how from the Reader's Digest Repair Manual. If you can get
hold of an old copy of that, you won't be sorry! There's buckets of good
advice in there!

This seems a not-too-inappropriate place to insert a neat craft I saw at
a recent craft fair: purses made from hardcover books. Talk about recycling!

These were beautifully wrought, with great care in matching fabrics and
themes.

I don't remember where you are, Anne, but you could maybe check either
the public library or the local university library. Our library does
do book repair, although I'm not sure if they do it for the public.
It would be worth asking, though.

That's a great suggestion. I'll ask a friend who is a librarian about it. I
took my injured book to Kinko's and was told it would cost about $5 to punch
holes and attach a spiral binding. It should be ready tomorrow, if they haven't
misplaced it -- I should've gotten a receipt as proof that I left 'em a job.
Oh, well ...
