Tweeters,
Bob is right on the mark. I did use Kinko's to bind my book, but also brought the text to reference what was seen each day. The problem some have had with this particular text is that some parts of the illustrations can be cut off. If you can live with that, then it should work out fine.
Buena suerte.

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
