[LM_NET] TARG: Tough bindings

[Amy Goldsmith <amy@ALUMNI.PRINCETON.EDU>]

Fellow LM_folk:

At AASL recently, many companies offered BTSB-type
bindings. What have your experiences been? I need
replacements for books that get hammered, like HP
and Shel Silverstein.

Some companies offered books with their dustjackets,
which I like (absorbs some of the wear and tear to
edges and corners; mylar can be refreshed to hide
that wear and tear).

Please let me know your experiences. I will gladly
compile a HIT if there is interest. Thank you!

Meanwhile I have really enjoyed the bookstore humor
thread. :D Why just Borders though? Much, much more
fun at a good independent, 'cause there's more to choose
from! Also more fun because my local Borders rarely has
anyone present, esp. who knows the books. At my local
independent kid's bookstore, there are fellow book people,
and they keep putting nifty new books in my hand to
read.
