nukeswife Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I am planning to start Saxon 2 with my youngest and although I've used Saxon in the past and love the TM, I have to say I'm not crazy about a spiral bound book that is 700+ pages. It doesn't stand up on the shelf very nice and is kind of unwieldy to use. Have any of you removed the spiral and put it in a 3 rind binder? Have you done something else to put it in a more user friendly format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classically Minded Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mine would also fall, so I just lay it flat on the shelf now and it does take up a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I never even thought of that! I actually like the spiral, except it's too floppy. I thought you meant remove the spiral form of instruction by grouping lessons differently or something...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey now, I have a spiral binding machine and other coils. I wonder if my pitch would line up so I could just make it into smaller TMs. Off to check that option out. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in WI Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This used to drive me crazy, too. During the school year I now keep all of my teacher manuals & answer keys on a bookshelf in something like this http://www.officemax.com/office-furniture/desk-accessories-organizers/product-prod3111916 I have two on the top shelf. It really helps keep everything organized. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed it's only 12" or so wide, how wide is each slot? This TM is easily 3-4 inches thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went down to the schoolroom to double check and the Saxon 2 TM does fit. Here is a picture I just took to show what it looks like. I didn't think to put the Saxon 2 in, but you can see the Saxon 3 in it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I like using these for all of the books that don't stand up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PentecostalMom Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I actually did remove the spiral once and it drove me NUTS so I gave it away and bought another TM. I use something similar to this. I have several on my "school" bookshelf and my TM plus dd's binder with the meeting book and workbook are in one.
