TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I don't know whether this has been mentioned yet, but there is a form of binding called 'half-canadian'. This gives you a spiral bound manual with a cover around the outside -- you get all the benefits of spiral binding (lays flat, can be folded around etc) with the professional look of perfect binding (spines for bookshelves etc).
I've used it recently for a suite of manuals, and I was delighted with the result.
