Great resource, terrible binding,

This review is from: Mel Bay Deluxe Encyclopedia of Piano Chords: A Complete Study of Chords and How to Use Them (Paperback)
A book like this, which a user will be reading while its standing on a piano / keyboard stand, and not while holding it in his or her hands, must be bound in a spiral binding, otherwise using it becomes a pain in the neck (and hands). But it's a great and valuable resource for any keyboard musician or composer. My rating actually is 5 stars for its contents, 1 star for binding.
