Possible. We went away from the spiral bound books because most bookstores do not want that kind of product.

Might be possible to do something on a limited basis, maybe a stripped down version of the books with only recipes in a encyclopedic style on paper that is coated and durable.

Dan - you'll find a very receptive crowd for spiral-bound here - count me in for 3.

Count me in on that too. Actually I think you'd find that most cocktail people, not just tiki people, would love to have this book spiral bound - perhaps done the same way that Quarry Books did with the second edition of Ted Haigh's masterful Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails.

That book appears to be a hardcover, but with a spiral binding inside so that the book can be laid flat on a counter while you make the drink. It's incredibly useful, especially for drinks with lots and lots of ingredients.

Honestly I'd consider buying both versions of a book with history and recipes in it. The spiral-bound for making the drinks and the more standard binding for reading the history and stories behind the drinks.
