Linda,
   When I have oversize issues in a midst or at the beginning or end of a
volume, I pull them out and bind separately. A page is inserted in the
volume where it would normally appear and in front, stating issue no.,
date, has been bound separately as an oversized issue. Another option is
have the issue copied and reduced in size then bind with the other issues.

     This is a better solution than binding it all together because
eventually the oversize issue begins to break off where it extends beyond
the other issues. I have numerous cases of this problem in my library as
my predessors believed in binding everything together. Now I am facing a
preservation challenge on these volumes.
