The problem that can occur when taking a small job to a print shop is
that you are almost always completing with 'big runs' they already
have set up. I had this same issue a few years back whenever I needed
an 11 x17 score bound. I always only had 2 or 3 and when I did find a
print shop to do it, they acted like it was a big inconvenience and
charged me up the yahoo, $$wise.
My solution won't help the original post tho. I ended up buying an
Akiles CoilMac which does large format bindings easily. But if you
only have one or two scores, it isn't practical.

They can also put in two 11" combs and trim the extra. But you might
have better luck with this at a proper (non-chain) print shop.
Kinkos and Staples are almost uniformly awful.

See if you can find an employee at one of those locations that can
help you. It is easy to put a 14" comb in the middle of the 17" side.
They'll need to remove the piece that left-aligns the paper in the
binder so they can get to the middle, but that's really all it takes.
Well, that and an employee willing to do it.

I recently came across the complete handwritten manuscript scores
to the
films ALIEN and ALIENS at the Library of Congress, and in my spare
time I'm
transcribing them into Finale (they not surprisingly won't let you
photocopy
them) with the goal of printing them out and binding them to add
to my
collection of film scores.
The problem I've run into is that both scores have such an
extensive list of
instrumentation that the only practical size for the printouts is
11x17
paper. (The handwritten ALIENS score is huge-- 12x36.) Neither
Kinko's nor
Staples can spiral bind a 17" document-- apparently their machines
can only
go up to 14"-- so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as
to where
else I might look to have it done or any other helpful thoughts on
binding.
