I want to take a large paperbook book apart and put it in a 3 ring binder. Is this possible? Has anyone done this before? Is there someplace that does this cheap?
Thanks in advance.
Valerie

I do this all the time. I just remove the binding as carefully as possible, 3-hole punch and stick it in a binder (sometimes I'll put the pages into sheet protectors instead of punching).
It's about as cheap as it gets

I don't know WHY this is so funny to me! I can just imagine introducing Jen to my husband, saying, "This is my on-line-friend, Jen....she has written ALL ABOUT How to dis-assemble a glue bound workbook!"

the place in town that does most of the copying and such will cut off a binding and do hole punches.. I don't know the exact cost for that.. I have them do a book that was already in pieces.. so they just added a comb binding. But it wouldn't be terribly expensive I wouldn't think.

Thanks ladies. Over the weekend I took the book apart. Yesterday took it to the local UPS store, and they did a 3-hole punch for my over 2 inch book for a $1.
