[Sca-cooks] Way OT Book Question

[Wanda Pease]

I've fallen under the spell of LibraryThing.com and have been cheerfully
entering my library.  Since my computer set up is in the breakfast nook
where I also keep my cookbooks I started with them.  Then I circulated
around the ground floor (bathroom, bedrooms, dining room, living room all
have books shelved somewhere).  My problem is that a number of my cookbooks
are either spiral bound like Byzantine Cuisine, or Comb bound like "How to
Cook Forsoothly" and the various church books. I have had to start and stop
enough times that I'm beginning to lose track of which books have gone in
and which still need to be catalogued.  I decided to get some of those
colored stick on dots and put them on the spines as I catalogued.  I can
stick them on the cover of the comb or spiral bound.

This has brought up another problem however.  Is there any way of labeling
the Comb Bound stuff so you can see the title on the binding?  Things like
these dots don't stick for long.  I've tried the various plastic push letter
label makers that my friend's kids used to love to pretend were phasers, and
they pop off after only a few weeks leaving a sticky strip.  Does anyone
have any better methods?
