Coil Binding! The Musician’s Friend
This morning I took four music books (Augsburg Organ Library) and my LSB Propers of the Day down to Office Depot to have their binding cut off and replaced with coil binding. Only $3.00 a book – not bad.
I’ve written about this in a previous post, but I think it bears repeating. Why do music publishers publish a book that will be put on a music rack that will not stay open on its own? It seems ridiculous to have to rebind the books before you can even use them.
P.S. I had my LSB Propers of the Day rebound just as a matter of convenience — so I’m not “unhappy” with CPH on that item. On the other hand, CPH could look at how they bind their Songs of the Gospel (preludes on Luther and Paul Gerhardt hymns) — those books were rebound as soon as I got them a few years back.

Thanks for the tip! Regarding the Propers of the Day, the book must be used every week plus holidays, yet comes in paperback only. I would have been willing to spend an extra $5-10 for a hard cover. Better yet, though, I am more than happy to spend $3 at the office store for the coil binding!
CPH: I have been using mine for 6-months to a year, and it STILL does not want to stay open.
