Binding on David's Cookbook

cherrywood — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 12:33:02 GMT

I recently made my first purchase for one of David's cookbooks at a local bookstore. The few recipes I have tried so far are great (as they always are) and I am looking forward to trying many more in this book. However, it is starting to fall apart and I am using a rubberband to keep it together. Is this an issue with his books or did I just happen to get one with this problem?

Cookbooks should have a different binding than regular books. Because they need to lay flat, the binding breaks and pages fall out.

I have about 4 cookbooks I use frequently. I took those to fedex/kinkos and had them spiral bound. I cost me about $4/book and was well worth it. They flatten out easily now.

@PMG055 Didn't know anyone could/would do this. $4 seems reasonable. Great idea to keep in mind. Thanks for posting.

@cherrywood Good morning, and welcome to the boards! I have all of David's books, including the latest, and haven't had any problem with the binding so far.

I have taken paperbacks to Kinko, but didn't think they could reinforce a hard copy. I will give it a try because this book is a keeper.

Thanks for all the input (and your comment, aroc).
