PERFECT BINDING! AHHHH!!!!- Derrick

Oh gosh, this was a lot harder than it looks. I'm glad that this was a topic of discussion. I've spent a lot of time on youtube watching tutorials and reading those "how to" guides. It seems that they're many ways to bound. At first, I was interested in perfect bounding…



But before, I could go into actually binding the thing. I had to make the text block, which was a whole different challenge. Deciding whether to use signatures, how many to use or to use single pages. So many options. But, that really depends on the number of pages and how thick the spine is.  Then I decided that I wanted a hard cover… so now I needed to redesign my cover.

I found this video on case binding and it was really helpful!
