[LM_NET] TAR: Follett Bound vs. Publisher's Hardcover

[Sandra Lingo <slingo47@FUSE.NET>]

I like the guarantee on the bindings of Follett Bound books, but the covers 
(especially the spines) get so banged up.  Sometimes the text is not centered on 
the page, and often there is very little margin on these editions.  

Publisher's hardcovers look nicer, and you can give them a quick, inexpensive face 
lift by giving them new mylar covers.  However, you do have to worry about the 
binding.

Now five years into this job, I'm reconsidering my policy to purchase Follett bound 
whenever possible.

What is your opinion?  I'll post a HIT.
