Re: Motion regarding purchase of Magazine Binders

[K Brewitt <just1moreiris@gmail.com>]

Has any other binder-type item been investigated?  A gardening magazine I subscribe to offers a slipcase that holds one year (or 7 editions)...think of a box that holds a set of books or videos.  A slipcase makes for a sturdier holder.  The magazine in question used to sell binders, which I used to purchase, however after 4 I decided they didn't sit steadily on a bookself i.e. the binder kept opening as there was nothing to keep the front and back covers securely in place.  Also, with the open top, the magazines get dusty and the uneven surface is a challenge to dust.  A slipcase would have a flat surface and protect the bulletins from dust.
Just throwing in my 2 cents of experience,

Depending on the price - I may purchase 2 or I might purchase 5.
If they are $20 each ---- 2 if they are $12-15 each 5.
Since I am not going to Madison, guess I would be paying postage from
Storefront.

P.S.  I would be using them for other mags I have.
