For those whose softback books are falling apart:
Have you checked your neighborhood for a bookbinder shop?
They can make any book into a hardback, with leather, linen, silk, etc.
binding. The only limiting factor is your wallet thickness.

Giving it another thought. Perhaps there are no more bookbinders around
in many countries, that's why nobody came up with this solution before.

Hmmmm...

Nevertheless, I post it away, it may help someone after all.

but that;s NOT the point!

can they make it exactly like the SR3 hardback?

Places like Kinko's can do this for about US$10. It is not a stitched
binding, but it holds together well. I use them to bind the hardback version
of the NAGEE that a couple of you have.
