22 We have bound this manual using a new @dfn{lay-flat} binding

23 technology. This type of binding allows you to open a soft cover book

24 so that it ``lays flat'' on a table without creasing the binding.

26 In order to make the book lay flat properly, you need to ``crack'' the
249785f6d816 Move here from ../../lispref

27 binding. To do this, divide the book into two sections and bend it so
249785f6d816 Move here from ../../lispref
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
28 that the front and back covers meet. Do not worry; the pages are
249785f6d816 Move here from ../../lispref

parents:

29 sewn and glued to the binding, and will not fall out easily.

32 several times in this manner, dividing it in a different place each

34 become flexible and the pages will lay flat without needing to be
