An earlier message pointed out the differences in price between hardback
and paperback editions when paper is available. I too have noticed this
difference lately since we received a rather large chunk of one time money
and have been ordering a lot of monographs lately. How many of you
buy paperbacks and have the covers reinforced by a bindery? What are the
pros and cons of this practice? Do any of you simply choose paper over
hardbound volumes and put them on your shelves unreinforced? It seems to
me that in some areas of the law, the books go out of date so quickly that
paperbacks may hold up to all the use they will every get.
