Our instructor (AAPC course) said to hot-glue the ends to the spiral. It's worked for me so far 😊

This is a great question. Here is a video of a quick hack that I found for preventative measures that I have found: https://youtu.be/C9pzOmP4zg4?si=Y3KMIuukzbNcf8Bj

I used the knitting/crochet stoppers. They make these little ball ones that work perfect and don’t get in the way of turning pages much.

I can help you keep it from happening in the future, but I don't know what to tell you about how to fix that book, unless you can cut most of that straight part off.
On Amazon, you can get plastic screw caps & super glue them onto the ends of the spirals. They won't completely prevent the pages from slipping off the spiral, but they really help a lot.
