Staple and send it in a plastic sleeve. Stapled: This my preference so that I can fold the mag backwards in half if needed while reading it in close confines. Also the "lay flat" thing, as already stated, makes it easy to use on the workbench while applying a technique shown in an article. Besides, being stapled makes it easier to remove those irritating cardstock ads which act as bookmarks while fipping through the pages. The first thing I do is remove them!! <ul>Printing cost note: Stapled binding is printed on large sheet paper (some printers use 11x17 others use 22x34), folded, stapled, then cut to size. Stapling cuts cost significatly when compared to perfect binding which is run on individual sheets (which cost more), bound (with a higher cost binding process) then cut.</ul> Plastic Sleeve: Yes, it does cost to encase each magazine in a plastic sleeve. However, it seem to me that the cost to replace "received damaged" issues would cost more. After all, a staff is needed to process the requests, the cost of a second printed copy, the cost of the paper envelope they send it in, then they pay 1st Class postage to get it to you. The replacement magazine, without a plastic sleeve, seems as though it would cost more than the original with a plastic sleeve. MR -- Rain and snow damage season is here! Plastic or Papermâché ?
