I'm with Darcy -- Staples and Kinko's ARE awful -- they only appear to be professional and make good products.

I brought a large orchestral score to Staples to have it enlarged and spiral bound, and the man put it together b-a-c-k-w-a-r-d-s, and GAVE it to me that way. Open up the cover, and there's page 36, and the entire thing went backwards.

Believe it!!

They can also put in two 11" combs and trim the extra. But you might have better luck with this at a proper (non-chain) print shop. Kinkos and Staples are almost uniformly awful.

See if you can find an employee at one of those locations that can
help you. It is easy to put a 14" comb in the middle of the 17" side.
They'll need to remove the piece that left-aligns the paper in the
binder so they can get to the middle, but that's really all it takes.
Well, that and an employee willing to do it.

I recently came across the complete handwritten manuscript scores to the films ALIEN and ALIENS at the Library of Congress, and in my spare time I'm transcribing them into Finale (they not surprisingly won't let you photocopy
them) with the goal of printing them out and binding them to add to  my
collection of film scores.

The problem I've run into is that both scores have such an extensive list of
instrumentation that the only practical size for the printouts is  11x17
paper. (The handwritten ALIENS score is huge-- 12x36.) Neither Kinko's nor Staples can spiral bind a 17" document-- apparently their machines can only go up to 14"-- so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where else I might look to have it done or any other helpful thoughts on binding.
