  13. The Perl book seems to stretch the O'Reilly binding process to its
  14. limits.  I think it might just be too thick for that binding
  15. technique.  I've seen several Perl books whose bindings seemed to give
  16. out after only a year or so, so that the books end up with lots of
  17. pages falling out.  They're heavily used as references; I think the
  18. book really needs a better binding, hardcover or otherwise.
