I have a great duplex printer too, HP LaserJet 1320, but I've just been popping my books into binders or those little folders w/ the metal page-holderers thingys (sorry I'm not sounding too intellingent here, think I'm having a brain freeze ;-) ).
Please share how you've bound your books, they look GREAT!
Hey Ginnie~ I hope you read this, I tried to go to your blog but there was no blog on your profile...
I found instructions on this site: http://www.persistenceunlimited.com/2006/03/fun-and-easy-how-to-guide-to-binding-your-own-paperback-books-at-homefast/
and how to make a jig on this site: http://www.persistenceunlimited.com/2006/10/how-to-build-your-own-bookbinding-jig/
Happy Binding!
Oh I found a better way to apply the glue, first don't wet the pages and I squeeze some glue on the pages then use a popcycle stick to smooth it. After doing a few books you'll get a feel for it, I did.
I'd love to hear how you bound them - I have tried gorilla glue before.
