Wanted to try my hand at perfect binding (pages are glued together, not sewn) for short fics and things like that. I don’t know why I’m surprised at how easy it was. I was skeptical it’d hold together (despite bookcases of books and magazines as evidence) but it does!
The back cover was a little askew when I glued it so it wasn’t completely attached at the spine but a little more glue fixed that right up!
I used single sheet signatures for this (so one folded sheet = four pages of the book) instead of single sheets (half a sheet =two pages of the book) because I didn’t feel like cutting things up. Also it seems more secure this way? I dunno.
Now I want to figure out how to cover the spine, like a paperback cover.
