Rebecca and Tweeters,

Some of you are no doubt very familiar with this process. Kinko's will
dissect a field guide for you, by slicing off the binding, then bind the
plates separately from the text in high quality, plastic-coated spiral
binding. Ask for protective plastic covers too. The cost is minimal,
perhaps $10 to generate a book of plates and a book of text. This is also a
solution for those fat field guides that won't open flat on the airplane
tray table. Keep the finished products in zip-locs when you travel, so they
don't fatally dog-ear.

Good birdbooking, Bob
