The back cover of my "Daily Ukulele Book" is ripped and torn. I'd like to put it in a 3 ring binder and am having a heck of a time finding a 3 ring binder to put it in.

Any suggestions. The size of the pages themselves are 9x12". Thanks
 
Check with someplace like Minuteman Press (or any other small printing shop) - they may have the equipment to drill to book (as a print shop I worked in many years ago did), and rather than a standard binder, they can put threaded posts in, along with hinged fiberboard covers.

Thanks Kurt. A friend put her book in a three ring binder she had laying around. It measured 10x12". Perhaps the 9x12" binders out there mean it is meant for a 9x12" paper size. I realize I'll have to punch holes in it. I think Office Depot does something similar to what your referring to.
 
Aloha Pat ,
what I do is use them plastic covers for the page and put them in a plastic 3 hole folder in sections.. works well

Thanks! I'm gonna try that, my 2nd yellow book is falling apart!
 
I have one almost untouched I'd sell for, like $20 plus shipping.
 
you might try using laminating sheets as a reinforcement for the cover. they are quite stiff, particularly when on both sides

I hear ya Stan but where do you buy the 3 hole folder? Most are 81/2"x11" Daily Uke is 9x12". I thought of the lamination but the back is torn from the spiral clamp.

It's nice they reduced the size Kurt. I hate the thought of buying another Daily Uke book. I don't really like it and the only reason I have it is because our uke group uses it. Otherwise it'd be gone.
 
Aloha Id copy the pages and reduce the size.. I wouldn't put all the pages in the folder cause it won't fit.. only pages I use often or like..
there is thicker gauge coping paper from 3M I use too

Since you're talking about a 1/2" difference on the width and 1" difference on the height, you could simply trim the pages down to the size of a standard page with a paper cutter from a hobby store. There is ample margin space on the pages of the Ukulele Daily to do this without compromising the sheet music. Once trimmed, you can put the pages in a standard 3 ring binder, but if you're going to go to all that trouble I second the suggestion of using plastic covers.
