Binding Machines Buying Guide

Question by I Can’t Be Normal: Best way to bind my book??? Please Help!?
OK I’m trying to make and sell a type of book where the pages are laminated and are bound on a wire comb type spiral. I also want a thin cardboard type of front and back cover that is also punched to have the wire comb spiral through it. Is there a machine that I can have at home that can punch and bind the covers and pages? The book will only have 5-10 laminated pages and the front and back cover.

Also, what are those cardboard covers wrapped in? I mean, when I see notebooks or other books that have this cardboard type cover, they are wrapped in a big sticker type thing that is printed on. Can I print on those at home to have a cover for my book?

I know these are really ignorant and stupid sounding questions, but I don’t know the terms for any of this stuff or how they are used. Any help would be MUCH appreciated! I’m totally lost. lol

You can buy black ink for your printer cartrige (ink jet) and just print the pages out on that. Go to your local quick print place and get the latest kind of binding done by them… it’s not expensive if you print the pages yourself.

Or go to an office supply place for ring binder equipment… people even sell ring bound books on Amazon… so it’s done rather commonly.

If you want to get fancy, do some artwork and have it copied on a color printer (for your cover)

Have fun and go ahead and list it on Amazon. If you have a great title you might sell a number of copies that will cover your expenses… and who knows… a publisher might see your work and want to give you a real contract.

Question by Robert P: How do I create a leatherbound book?
I want to create a special case the dimensions of a DVD case for a video game. I want it to look like a leather-bound book, with embedded gold typography and emblem.

I have no idea how to do this, though. Any suggestions? If I could just find out a way to embed the gold text and emblem, I think I could manage, but that’s the most difficult part. How do I do that without an expensive machine?

Question by Kristen: How do I replace a book binding?
I need to recover a book that is old enough to not have an ISBN number, so I can’t get the precise dimensions online. Nonetheless, I have a rough estimate.
Does anyone know how to replace or recover a book binding? I never got around to learning how when I worked in the library. Oh- and I’d prefer to do it using everyday household materials- I can’t be scraping lambskin and sewing bindings together using a 1200 year-old technique. Just presume I have no more than tape, scissors, paper, an inkjet printer and a small personal lamination machine.
