What is the best way to manage or bind a loose leaf textbook?

I managed to accidentally get a loose leaf textbook rather than a hardcover. The textbook cannot be returned. I am wondering if anyone has experience with these and could recommend the best way to manage or bind the loose leaf book. I have put it in a 3 ring binder, but it doesn't seem to be very functional, it is difficult to turn the pages, pages feel like they could/will rip out VERY easily, etc. Just seems like there has to be a better way! Thanks in advance for any advice! :)What is the best way to manage or bind a loose leaf textbook?
Go to Staples, Office Depot (or Wegman's LOL), and buy adhesive reinforcements. These are little plastic or fabric circles on wax paper that you peel off and put over the holes of the three-ring punched sheets. They keep pages from tearing out.



Failing that, take the pages to Staples and ask them to bind them. Staples has a machine that will punch 15 or 20 holes on the side and thread a plastic binder through the whole thing. They charge a few dollars.What is the best way to manage or bind a loose leaf textbook?
A binder is the best way. If the pages are difficult to turn, get a bigger one. I've had to deal with these a few times and the binders were the only things that worked at all.
