Hello Jacquie and everyone Indeedy, this is the case. I repunched the holes of the first part of Ulrike's Torchon to fit one of our standard North American ring binders; the pages stick out the top but they are useable. The second one is in a proper A4 binder I pinched from work, from the purchasing department. It has stunning photos on the cover of survey instruments made in Germany. At least the pages are useable and protected (and the binder is super sturdy!). I haven't bought part three yet, but a dear friend in Europe contributed a plain binder. I swapped something of equal value including the postage. I recall from our searching high and low that a stationery chain in the US has A4 binders but purchasing was difficult by mail.
