Trying to get some advice from fellow dakkanauts:

My FoW mini-softcover rulebook is starting to fall apart on me. The pages are just seperating left and right. I was wondering if anybody knows of places that could take the pages and bind them back together. I don't need anything fancy, just a way to keep the pages together. Maybe get it spiral bound or something.

In the past I have had FedEx/Kinkos do some binding for me, but that was when I was prinding out PDF versions of rulebooks (relax, the legal kind like Necromunda or all the FAQs). I haven't gone by there to see if they would bind something that they have not printed.

Any advice?

Any print shop will generally also offer binding services. It's just one of those things that goes with the territory.

Bring the book to staples, tell them you want the binding cut and the book spiral bound, you don't need a front and back cover. The whole thing will cost you around $3

What Catyrpelius said, I've done that for a number of my codexes before and it works out quite well. I have occasionally lost a few letters on the inner margin to the binding though if the person doing the binding isn't paying much attention.

Thanks guys,

I did end up going by Fedex/Kinko's since it is right on my way home. For just shy of $5 they cut the spine and did a spiral bound while I waited for 10 minutes.

Not to threadjack here, but a question on book binding -

Say I wanted to get a... fairly heavily worn rulebook rebound. Would it be legal/accepted to get it rebound with, say, a nice leather covers, or just a different hardcover?

Hey, it's your book. Do it.

Copyright issues around rebinding are generally just to do with selling the book in anything other than its original binding.
