+1 Fed-Ex Kinkos got front and back cover laminated as well as spiral bound....

 

Wow, didn't even think about taking it to Kinkos or Staples, etc - great idea, thanks.

 

I don't know what the legality of it is, but you might also consider, when you take it to Kinkos or wherever to get bound, I would do three ring rather than spiral for easy page replacement, you could get it scanned into a PDF as well so that you could re-print pages that get damaged.

Again, I don't know the legality of this. I would THINK that it is covered by the archival clause of the Fair Use doctrine, but I am no attorney.

 

Thanks for all the replies everyone there are some really good idea's. I believe a trip to Staples is in order.

 

I took it to kinko's and they sliced off a small piece of bonded edge and placed pages in a 3 ring binder.
The 3 ring binder allows you to remove pages and make a quick copy when service is required and then i can toss the dirty pages away. Also good for parts purchase.

 

Took my manual in to Staples today and 1.5 hours later it was done. Best and cheapest non-bike mod done to date. Thanks everyone for all the idea's.

 

Only way to fly.

 

Did the Kinko's thing day one. Took about ten minutes and cost about $7. Now it lays flat. Great advice I got on this great forum.

 

Thanks for the tips. Took mine to staples and they spiral bound it and laminated the front and back cover for $10.23. Still wont know what I'm doing when I start wrenching but at least my book will look good.
