I have never bought from Perma Bound. I find that the high price is not justified. We also do not like the "feel" of the paper they use for the actual pages of their books. The sales rep that comes by once a year has never convinced me to buy from him as he is excessively pushy and a tad creepy. The only perma bound books that I would intentionally keep for our library are the free ones that I get from the rep or, if not available through any other vendor, a particular title that I needed.
Strengths: Perma Bound offers a wide variety of books that our library needs. They are hard-bound and are supposedly bound better than from other publishers and are supposed to stand up to multiple use.
Needs to improve: The quality of the printed page is newspaper-like and not appealing to the eye, especially for our clientele which is teenagers. The "supposed" high-quality binding does not justify the higher price for their books. The personal sales-rep that comes by is also a tad creepy.
We use Perma Bound materials to manage and keep track of paperwork on our members and employees, it allows us to keep track of important information as we move on to a more technology based system.
Strengths: -Good Binders
-Great Binding
-Prices
Needs to improve: -Orders are hard to obtain
