[HANASHIR:3817] Re: Question for Songleaders

[Jessica Cassway <jessica_cassway...>]

Hi everyone,

I've been using three-ring binders for music books. When I first started doing
this I found that a lot of pages were falling out of the books and this was
often, although not always, due to normal wear and tear. I then began using
plastic sleeves to protect the paper. If you go this route it's important to use
a heavier sleeve. The economy sleeves rip almost as easily as regular paper.

Hope this helps.
