circa notebook evaluations and comments

Hi; It has been long time since I tried to use rings cut out of copper pipe. I thought it worked but found the rings did not fill in the mushroom shaped circa holed and were not effective.

I use a lot of steno note books. Tried to make one with circa rings but the 5 rings I used did not stand up the rough use a steno takes. The pages tend to come out with 24# paper. I went to card stock but 80 pages make a thick steno and it is also heavy.
If you make the notebook so it opens like a book and takes 8 rings for a 8.5x5.5 inch notebook the pages stay in fairly well with 24# paper but it is no longer steno type. When this note book is filled I punch round holes in the pages put it together with split rings for storage make a new circa notebook with the old rings. The notebook with split rings is not as bulky as with circa rings.

I do make a 3x5 notebook with 24# paper with 5 rings on the side that I carry and use all the time. It is like a timex watch takes a beating and keeps ticking.

I have a second 3x5 that I have info off my old pda and do not have to charge batteries. Did that when my old pda would not run on my new computer.

Even though Elmer's and other "white" glues are PVA, they may not be non-acidic and they may not be flexible when dry as true bookbinding glue is. It is best to use true bookbinding glue when available, however; other glues may work in a pinch.

Indeed! I might give that a try for my next one. This was as much an excuse to to learn a thing or two about PostScript code, so the 4-up symmetry was a bit easier to implement. It also allows for a rough match on both sides of a sheet, without too much hassle (although not impossible with a 5-up arrangement, now that I think about it).

Looks nice

...is the one. My daughter cuts the underwear models out of old clothing catalogs, pastes them in a scrapbook and uses them as forms on which to design clothing, mostly red carpet worthy formals. This means some heavy duty ink layout coloring in all the complicated designs. Her first set held up for about 2 years before significant numbers of them were running dry.

Do you mean ...

hi there, I tried to correct the credits when this article first appeared but the comment didn't appear, have just come across this page again and wanted to let you know that the first photo is mine not Emmy Schoonbeek. The book was the result of a page swap with friends and the cover was made by one of the ladies in the swap. I'm pleased that you liked it enough to illustrate your article but would appreciate the right credit. thanks
