No binder is allowed this year. You can only 'edit' a published field guide.

Unfortunately Robot, depending on who you are you can't get just as much information in. I know that I can't get as much information. All we can do is try to come as close as possible. That is because our binder contained a 300 page herpetology dictionary last year, there is no practical way to put that into a petersons or audubon. You could buy a bigger book that is useless except for holding notes, but that would be too difficult to navigate through.

plus i REALLY liked the format of my binder. It was much more user friendly than the published field guide and it let me find the info quickly.
