Books, Books, and more Books!

I've been busy making books!
Yes, books! with the new printer we bought I've printed,
glued, and bound my e-books!
See how nice they turned out...no loose pages!

This is really nice because I can print several copies of
one book for pennies!

  1. I'd love to hear how you bound them - I have tried gorilla glue before.

  2. 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!

  3. 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:

    and how to make a jig on this site:

    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.

    Hope this helps
