How could I bind a hardback book?
I've made a childrens book and I need it bound by monday as Ive got a portfolio interview. Problem is all the bookbinders are closed over the weekend. any ideas? the pages are quite thick and altogether its about 1.5 inches...
get all the pages nice and square - clamp them in place with some thing REALLY heavy then paste glue over the proper edge and place linen over the glue - trim it all up and you're good to go.
