Shoplet.com I am so impressed by these guys.

They had all the stuff I needed and wanted, card stock 250 sheets for $6.50, 100 acco #5 brass fasteners for $2.54, washers $3.40 flat shipping rate of $7.50 unless you go over $45 then it's free. Shipping 1-3 business days.

I have to say, WOW! I am very impressed.

Sounds good - I've got too many of these funny brass things that I think must have been made in the Congo, because they tarnish so easily.

No one and I mean no one sells the products for binding a script within 150 miles of my home. I had to rob them off my daughter's christmas project last time, which I replaced with smaller ones.

Hillgate, I am surprized about the tarnish. I still have some from 15 years back that are shiny like new.

The size preference has apparently changed since then, because these are all the 1 1/2 inch size. I bought what the script coodinator told me to buy, so that's what they wanted on teleplays back then, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Ice, I don't recommend the washers. I just saw a bunch of screenplays apparently sent out by the Academy for voting. I didn't examine them all, but I didn't see any with washers. I wish I had checked the brad length.

Thanks Joe.

I bought the washers because last time the brads ripped through some of the pages and I didn't want that to happen again.

Right, that's the kind I bought. I don't need them any bigger as I don't have a 120+ script.
