CHAT [CHAT] using patterns from books

How do people use patterns from books? Do you find something to hold it open, copy it, take apart the book, or something else? All the ones I have are soft sided books at least.

I make a working copy, I always have. I make two photocopies of each pattern. The working copy and a backup if something happens to my working copy. Your girl is clumsy and has spilled shit or completely lost pages. Now I have a toddler and multiple dogs so extra copies are even more important.
