[Blindtlk] Now what about binding?

[James Kelm]

Dear friends,

    Now that you are all providing me with such good suggestions about the 
embossers them selves...  What are your thoughts about the best way to bind 
Braille?

    Just for me personally, I dislike the comb binding that seems to be the 
standard for binding Braille.  It is difficult to keep from slipping when it 
is on my lap, the combs are always pulling out of the paper, and I don't 
care for them.

    I usually use 3 ring notebook type binders.  I simply use my trusty hole 
punch, and I have a kind of hard cover for my books.  For me, it keeps the 
Braille nicer, it doesn't slip as easily when I am reading, and although it 
can be a bit more expensive for each copy...  I can get simple 3 ring 
binders for around $2 each.

    But do any of you have other ideas?  I want something that is practical, 
but that also looks nice and professional.  A great deal of my reading is 
either while in front of my congregation, conducting Bible studies, or other 
times when I want my Braille to look organized and professional.  A lot of 
my Braille is kept for a long time also, so I need something that is durable 
and that will protect my material for months, if not years.

    Thanks again for your help!


Respectfully Yours in Christ,
