It works well. We also save old phone books from towns we used to live in for times when we need an address or phone number from there. We have put them in the car. It works well.

It is fast cheap and works great for elderly or children!

Anyone know? I saw it once at a Parkinson Meeting but don't remember how to do it. I know you duct tape the binding but Don't know if it is before or after you "saw" it. Any help would be appreciated. Pat Those are great ideas but I’m looking for how to cut a phone book and make it a cardholder for the handicapped. Anyone know?
