Yeah, but coil bound?  Wire maybe, plastic like I have used is nothing but 
a PITA. 3 years later you pick it off the shelf and the bindings are in a 
thousand pieces. Cutting the binding off is ok, but how much trouble to 
just restack them and glue on a new cover?  Much more serviceable in the 
long run.
