Printing and Binding a Long Book

DiskBooks pdf files are formatted to provide a half inch gutter [extra space] along the left margin for punching and binding. Follow the step by step procedure illustrated below for converting a cumbersom multi-page printout into a usable book.

1. Use a sturdy 3-hole punch to punch 3 holes along the left margin of all the printed pages. Make sure the settings on the punch match the size of your paper and binder.
2. Buy three-hole vinyl binders at your stationery supply store. The binder shown here is .5 inch thick. Binders are available to accommodate books of varying sizes and they are also available in varying colors. Make sure the binders you buy have clear pockets on the front so you can insert the cover page.
3. Print the first page of the booklet. In most cases it will serve as a suitable cover. After the ink is dry, slide this cover page into the clear vinyl pocket on the front of the binder.
4. Print and punch the remainder of the pages of your book. There is a limit to the number of pages you can punch at one time. Insert the punched pages into your binder in the proper order. Now your DiskBooks pdf book is ready for easy use and identification.
Copyright Information	It permissable to make a nominal charge for the service of binding a DiskBooks publication as descibed above.
