what is the glue used in binding paperback books?

January 262011

I am home producing my R.N. memoirs and wish to bind the finished booklet.

Some paperbacks at least use "padding compound" to hold the pages together.
You can buy it, or you can make your own from permanent white glue.

If you’re interested in more info on that, check out this page at my site under the category called NOTEPADS:

There are lots of ways to "bind" books (and booklets) though, from simple to complex-and-fiddly!

How much does it cost to get 15000 good quality paperback books printed in say India or Thailand.?

December 212010

Or any country where our the dollar is strong, and is it worth the hassle?

I am wondering why you would want 15,000 copies of anything. Do you realize 5,000 copies sale is enough to get you on a lot of best-seller lists? Selling 1,000 copies of an unknown writer is considered darn good. I am sure you can get some good prices on printing, but I hope you are not getting a lot more than can be sold.

What are some good ways to take the binding or spine off of paperback books?

November 202010

I have several paper back activity books for the kids to do but I want to put the pages in a 3 ring binder so I can take pages out to make copies easily. Does anyone know any good clean ways to do this with out ruining any pages of the book? I heard about putting it in the microwave, but I don’t know if it would work or not. I may try the microwave technique with a book from goodwill or something but are there any more good techniques?

First make sure that the pages don’t have the perforations for tearing out — most workbooks do these days. Then carefully use a boxcutter knife and slit the pages as close to the binding as you can. Also, since you are deconstructing the book, open it as far as you can, and the glue may
split and release some pages. After a few come out the rest are easier to get.

Where can I buy the rare first edition paperback books in India?

Do paperback books still have pictures, like hardcovers do?

October 82010

Do paperback books still have pictures and other stuff like hardcovers do?
If the hardcover does have images inside, will the paperback?
aaah man, if the book is an autobiography and it says it has pictures on the inside, will the paperback have those pictures just like the hardcover does.

Yes. I’ve had paperbacks with the photographs inside, like what you’re talking about.
