When the same thing happens to my Sammy Spider books (I have multiple copies because of my large population) I take the book to a printer like Kinkos and have the loose pages spiral bound. I have to reprint a spine label to put on the front but it does give the book more longevity. You might even find a printer who is a member of your Temple who will do it as a donation to your library like I do. As much as we all would like to have them, I think it might be too costly for Kar-Ben to do a hardcover reprint. I want them to continue to bring us their good titles and if it means preserving my soft covers in this way I will do it. I will be interested to hear the responses.
