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

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

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

I have a spiral binder too. But this is a published 2013 book and they have no excuse for the sorry binding job.TubaTinker wrote:I bought a spiral binder off Ebay for under $30 that will take care of my binding needs for a lifetime.dunelandmusic wrote:Kinkos/FedEx can spiral bound anything for about $6

Re: Attention Music Publishers!
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.
