Abstract
A binding system comprising a spine adapted to be removeably secured within a base and a clip adapted to connect to the spine. The clip may be threaded through the aperture of a leaf to movably secure the leaf to the spine. Further, the spine may be elongated with a pair of mushroom-shaped ends. The base may further include a well having end walls with opposed dimples. The mushroom shaped heads may fit within the dimples to secure the spine to the base. The spine may include an aperture into which at least a portion of the clip may be inserted to secure the clip to the spine. The at least one leaf may be permitted to lie substantially flat upon the base when the spine is secured within the well.
