I used to have books cerloxed - comb binding- and the pages do not open as flat as the ring binding.<br /><br />Love the yellow. Not a colour I often use, but it certainly looks pretty in your photo. I have wanted to tat an edging for my pillowcases since I started tatting and now I REALLY want to....Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-14413696909855328172009-07-02T21:06:09.457-04:002009-07-02T21:06:09.457-04:00Very good idea to ring the books Gina !!!!!!.

I like spiral bindings because I HATE having to weight my books down so they don't flip shut on me (I have enough obstacles already). And yeah, combs are terrible. They are so easy to snag anywhere on the binding and why are toddlers so keen on picking them apart?<br /><br />The hen and sewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-66187248365318302222009-07-02T09:13:31.959-04:002009-07-02T09:13:31.959-04:00Steph, check prices first.

I have some books that came that way, with the comb, and I hate it. I don't know if I can have them rebound or not - I can, but I don't know if there's enough room for them to cut off that edge without losing material.

I'll have tostop by the copy place in the morning.<br /><br />The edging is very pretty. I like hens 'n chicks and mignonette edgings best. The bare threads give them a fragile or dainty look.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453558059674638805noreply@blogger.com
