Book binding
« on: May 03, 2010, 12:22:12 pm »
Hello !
The Indian cookbook I ordered from England came with a spiral binding (on the left of the picture), whereas the French one I received with the Thermomix was a more "traditional" book (on the left of the picture) with a normal spine.
I really like the spirals : the book can stand on its own, stays open, etc... Really convenient.
Now, do all the English books come with spirals, or was I just lucky with the Indian one?
I'm debating which country to order the books from, taking into account spirals and shipping fees... :)

The English Fast and Easy is spiral, and all the Aussie books tend to be spiral as well. With the exception of Full Steam Ahead and the other one (name escapes me) they are the same format as your French one.

Yes - English and Australian books have spiral binding.  French/Italian have normal binding like A Table Avec TMX

Yes ~ 'Full Steam Ahead' and 'My Way of Cooking' have NO spirals. And I've just realised they must be part of a series because FSA has written on the spine 'International Edition 1' and MWoC has the number 2.

Perfect! I'll order them from The UK then !
Thank you very much !
It's a shame UK doesn't offer a soup recipe book though.

Yep I noticed that before too (might have posted it somewhere on the MWoC thread  ??? ???) I only noticed it because they were sitting on top of each other on my desk at one point  :-)) :-)) I am so observant lol ... be interesting to see what else comes out if they are a series  ;)
