There is no easy bookbinding tutorial that tops the simplicity of my very first project. This video uses nothing more than a bottle of glue, two paint stirring sticks, a few binder clamps, and a couple cotton swabs to get the job done (the sandpaper is optional!)
The methods taught at
www.GoEasyBook.com might be more thorough and deliver more professional results, but these get the job done!
You've got no excuses now! If my low rent solution works, anyone can make a paperback book!
