[Blindtlk] Now what about binding?

[Gary Wunder]

I use the tractor feed holes and take round clips that snap together. They
make an excellent way to bind together a speech or a bible reading. Better
ways exist if you are binding something for long-term use and storage, but
these little clips are much better than staples.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Now what about binding?

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,
James Kelm
