WTB MANUAL BINDINGS

[Peter A Markavage]

If you have enough room on the left hand margin, shear away all the old
holes, or as much of them as you can, and then re-punch using the
standard 19 hole puncher. The other alternative is to use a
staple/glue/tape binding  mechanism. However, this will not permit
lay-flat operation of the manual.
