How much additional margin do I need on the spine side for the glueing so the 1" margin remains in the bound book? Thanks! Great post - I love DIY!

Professional book binders do not use Gorilla Glue, we use PVA because it is archival (it won't damage or yellow the paper). Wonderful tutorial.

I'm assuming if one purchases paper, ink, glue and all necessary supplies wholesale then adds sweat equity, a small profit can be derived. Anyway, I appreciate your site which is informative and very clearly laid out. Kudos! Thank you Brad for your patience.

We can also duplex-print them on state-of-the-art color laser printers. So far, so good. What is not so good is that the loose-leaf binders we have been using leave a lot to be desired, especially since in some cases the punched-out holes obliterate bits of text. I came across your article and built an almost identical jig and was amazed at the results. Thank you for making this information available: it really works!
