If by binding you mean the cover, the current one is sturdy enough. But the binding of the pages is abysmal. I've been careful with my 3.0 version, and still, pp. 450-479 have simply fallen out of the glue, and 479-482 are about to go. The book needs to be PROPERLY bound, not glue-bound. It needs to be able to be opened flat on a table, be paged through often, and so on. -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
