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