The Middle Staple

There are several reasons why I want to introduce the Center Stapler, but the primary one is for the fact that it can staple the middle section of a book. This one of the most hard-to-get places while re-binding a book and I know the pain, cause in high school I’d have to use scotch tape to do a shoddy job of holding the pages together! Anyhow, if the next-gen is this lucky, then someone will surely take this concept forward and make it see the light of day!
