I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

    A comb binder for bookmaking.

    I print off a lot of RPG books and music that would otherwise cost a fortune. Now it’s basically the cost of toner and paper.

    I like having an e-reader for most stuff, but some things are just better as physical objects that can be marked up and tabbed.

      I just scored a comb binder from a job. I got it with that exact use in mind. Do you get front and back cover pages or just use paper?

        I cut down construction paper to use as the front and back covers (I usually print a front cover, but the back is black), then use a sheet of transparency film on each side to protect the whole thing and give it a more finished look.
