Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Or I suppose necessity is the impulse that brings you back to earth to discover the simple and sensible.

If you are wanting to make a booklet for the monthly installments of the Reading Notes you can do what I did since spending $13 at a printing place seemed too much for me.

Print the notes out on both sides, that is the "manual duplex" setting on my old printer in the garage.  Or, really, if that is too much and you have lots of paper, print them single sided.

Then I found a very thin binder and after putting all the pages through the 3-hole punch, viola!, not only was it quick and cheap, but the booklet stands on a shelf.  The other booklets didn't stand and I look at that as a minus point on their behalf.  Then I printed a snazzy cover page and slipped it into the front cover of the binder.

Anyway, I have heard that the "thumb drive" idea was a little too technical for some people and thought I would offer this idea since necessity moved us to it and I now prefer it.
