Hi Karen, I use a manual binder from Southwest Plastic binding. It cost around $180.00 The office supply stores like Staples and Ofice Max sell manual binders. If you want to buy in small quantities of combs, you might be better off going to the office supply stores. Price will be higher, but you can get much smaller quantities. As for sizes of combs, I most often use 1/2 3/4 and 1 inch. I do lots of small and medium size docs. If you're doing larger or multi-volume books, you'll want 2-inch combs.

I'm looking at the comb binding setups here on www.officezone.com and have no idea which to recommend to my board! Any advice here, guys? We're rieieieiieieieieieiely small, and won't need to do all that much braille at one time. Any machines you guys use and like? thanks much!

I get mine from www.officezone.com, which has all sizes up to and including 2 inches in several colors. I don't know if they have the best prices, but I don't know of anywhere else that carries sizes larger than 1.5 inches.
