Did you get them done in the flat plastic ring binding, or in plastic that
resembles the wire notebook binding, just thicker and black?
The SPiral binding I have has help up well, and well... My books get beat
to bloody hell cause I haul them around in a backpack almost daily to game
sessions and such, and since I have the only copy that gets brought to the
group (I'm still not sure how THAT worked out), it gets passed around a lot.
I had the same type of binding used on my MITS playtest copy (Which, since
I had it printed Single Sided, and since the paper is somewhat thicker than
what FASA uses, is the same size as my SR3), and that survived 4 or 5
months of fairly rigorous use (First in playtesting, then while waiting for
MITS to come out :)).

YMMV, and of course it probably all depends on the type of plastic used, to
be sure...
