Three things: first, they were suggesting going to Kinko's to have this done, and
Kindo's knows how to do this kind of stuff. Second, I've always found that spiral
binding (like a notebook) has a tendency to get bent and then it doesn't work as
well. Thirdly, the type of binding suggested also allows you to bend the book
backwards.
