Book binding

[Me Died Blue]

This is a stupid question that I can't seem to find an answer to through Google: I'm getting ready to order a book from SWRB, and they list two binding options - "Rare bound photocopy" (less expensive) and "Hardcover photocopy" (more expensive). What exactly is the former?

Chris,

In my experience ordering through SWRB, what is meant by "rare bound photocopy" is simply spiral bound facsimiles instead of hard bound facsimiles.

Yup, and they don't hold up well either.

... and what do they mean by "hardcover photocopy?"

A stack of photocopies glued into a hard cover binding. I've never bought a hardcover so cannot say how they hold up. The pages are two page spreads so basically think of a book that is way longer than it is tall, sort of like a legal size paper turned on its side. Makes for awkard shelving.

I agree. My advice is that these "books" are not worth the price. The only reason to gte them is if you need them and there is no other option
