Interesting. Have you tried to do this on a really thick paperback? I have a couple of music books with between 500-600 pages, really useless to sightread from since they won't stay open. I would love to put these in spirals, but I'm unsure whether or not it would be a good idea to do so.

Ugh, comb bindings are the worst. I've a couple piano books with combs. Noisy, pages get stuck, or worse, falling out. Not to mention it's hard to get them to lay flat . It's probably the worst invention in bookbinding, just makes my annoyed just thinking about it.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll have to do some research see if I can get this done locally. Did a quick search now and it seems like 300 pages is max most places so I guess I'll have to split the books into two parts. Not much of a problem really. They will probably fit better at the piano music stand anyway so.

Dang...lots of comb binding displeasure... .I bought one of those book binding hole punches. I Use comb binding and found it better than the 3 ring binding type. Ive found it handy for keeping my sheet music from classes in. Whenever I need to add a sheet I can put back in this punch which has some teeth that will pull the comb apart and hold it while you add sheets. As long as I don't over fill it works good. It's possible to buy the spiral kit but I don't have the patience to feed them through.
The glued type book conversion is a great idea. Just as an addition..if you purchase books from melbay you can buy the PDF version and email to some of the office supply type chains. They can spiral it that way as well. I haven't used that service but know a student in class that did one that way.
