Do you miss the old timetable booklets were everything was in one place? You could make your own just follow the instructions below

1) Unfold your timetables and lay them out flat on top of each other. ( this works if the timetables are similar sizes )
2) Staple them all  together at the top left hand corner
3) Refold them all together along the creases
...

You will then be left with your own booklet & all of your timetables together
