This is important. I never use comb bindings anymore because the plasticizer deteriorates and they crack. I have books and scores no more than 10 years old where the combs will not flex at all. The plastic combs shatter and begin to shed parts. Then they catch on turns, rip pages, and generally make a mess. My parts are always saddle-stitched by Frog Peak. For scores that can't be saddle-stitched, I use the plastic wire binders at the local Mailboxes Etc. I don't know the lifespan of these yet, though. They might be as bad as the combs. Since my material is also available online, for those who seem to think downloading and copying parts is more economical, I let them figure out how to print & bind them. By gosh, Frog Peak shortly gets orders. :) Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
