I actually thought long and hard about it. I didn't know if the punch at
work could do it and it might just wind up bending the cover and ruining
it. So I looked at all my gaming books (they all have basically the same
thickness cover) and tried to find one that was:
1. beat up pretty bad so worth little
2. I'll never use again
3. has no sentimental value
4. probably has no real value anyway

My old dragonlance book was the only that fit all those criteria.

Question for the group:
Okay so I can three hole any of my gaming books. Now how to bind them? It
seems kind of cheesy to cut off the spine and just have them held together
by 3 flopping rings. But I'd rather not go the binder route as it would
significantly increase required shelf space (and the whole point of this
is that I get to keep the cover and back cover).

Suggestions?
