21We have bound this manual using a new @dfn{lay-flat} binding
22technology. This type of binding allows you to open a soft cover book
23so that it ``lays flat'' on a table without creasing the binding.
24
25In order to make the book lay flat properly, you need to ``crack'' the
26binding. To do this, divide the book into two sections and bend it so
27that the front and back covers meet. Do not worry; the pages are
28sewn and glued to the binding, and will not fall out easily.
29The outer cardboard binding itself is designed so that it will not
30break or crease as an ordinary paperback binding will. Bend the book
31several times in this manner, dividing it in a different place each
32time and pressing the pages flat and open. With use, the binding will
33become flexible and the pages will lay flat without needing to be
34pushed or held down.
