Post by Mark »

When you publish a book of tuba etudes, USE A BINDING METHOD THAT ALLOWS THE BOOK TO OPEN FLAT!!!!!!

Yes, I do feel better now.

Agreed! I had my Rochut book cut apart and spiral bound. Much improved!

I bought a spiral binder off Ebay for under $30 that will take care of my binding needs for a lifetime.

I have a spiral binder too. But this is a published 2013 book and they have no excuse for the sorry binding job.

I totally agree. Spiral binding is not exactly a new technology!

There's something else the publishers should be paying attention to... Music NEVER goes 'out of print' at Barnhouse Publishing. It might cost you a few bucks to replace a missing part but at least they make their stuff available... forever.
