As long as it lays flat it doesn't matter. Thus, binders, plastic comb,
wire-o and spiral are all okay. Perfect bound won't lay flat so it's
not okay.

On the other hand, I have a paper cutter (the kind that does a ream at
a time) available and a plastic comb binding machine so I can just cut
the edge off a perfect bound book, punch it, and bind it with a plastic
comb. Handy.
