Making Books

[Viva Fidel]

Anyone know how to physicaly make hardcover books? Like, what type of glue to use, what kind of paper, what size to make a nice small one, etc etc?

[Scars]

Don't bother trying. Book binding is an art, go find a bookbinder to do it for you. They're not as expensive as you'd think.

They're not?

Everyone I've looked at was..

Can you point me in the direction of an inexpensive one?

A cheap book binder...? Kinkos! :P

Here's an interesting tutorial (http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/book/) on it, though I haven't tried this first hand. My neighbor once tried it, and it looked rather difficult.

Here is a long list of links that may or may not help:

You could always get your book published at http://lulu.com/ for free and just order a copy for yourself. I'm not sure how cheap it would be though.
