Taboo Table was first issued as spiral-bound, like Grog Log and Intoxica. That issue is only available used (and at a startling premium!). It was re-issued in a paperback binding, like Remixed.
I have the spiral version, which lays flat. But I also copy the recipe, rather than risk staining the book - even more so, when I look at what people are asking for the spiral-bound copies! I can't say for 100% certain, but I doubt the binding chops any of the text/art, since it doesn't in any of the Bum's other books he's had printed in paperback.
As far as taking it into the bar, there are only about a dozen drink recipes. The main emphasis is on the food recipes of the "Polynesian palaces". And, if I were buying it today, I would NOT pay a lot extra to get a spiral copy, which now only makes sense as a collector edition. For less money, you could buy two copies of the paperback, separate the pages on one and have a print shop spiral bind it for you.
