Can you use more rye flour in a rye bread that suggested?

Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum: FAQs Archives
My preference is for a light rye flavor and texture so I use just under 18% rye. If you want higher than 20% rye you need to make a sourdough rye because the acidity of the sourdough is necessary to keep the crumb from getting sticky (due to the pentosans in the rye flour). To make a bread with about 42% rye, convert the sourdough starter to a sourdough rye starter by feeding it medium rye flour instead of bread flour. You will need a few extra drops of water to achieve a smooth consistency.

What type of binding machine is best if I am binding 10-20 books per day?

The Official USI Laminate Site - Frequently Asked Questions ...
Select the binding machine that works best with the volume of work you need to bind. If you only bind a few books per day, a lower volume machine (8–12 sheet punch capacity) should work well.

Choose a machine with a punch capacity of 20+ sheets and an electric punch if you bind hundreds of books per day.

Bitsy tries to answer 'em... - A Bravenet.com Faq
Hi, First off what size loaves does your machine make? Most bread machines make between a 1 and 2 pound loaf. . My machine does a 1 lb and a 1-1/2 pound loaf.
