As a journalist, I’ve always wanted to know how books are put together. When you look at the binding in a novel, you think “hey, that doesn’t look like a hard to thing to do”. But when you actually try the do the task yourself without any instructions, you don’t get the result you’re looking for.

So to help make sure your book looks truly professional, you can now use instructions from an actual DIY bookbinding website. Along with a YouTube video, the site explains to you how pages have to be lined up so you can create what they call a “perfect binding”. Following the instructions will take up a lot of your time, but it beats threading a piece of yarn through a series of punched holes (the old-fashioned and simple way to bind pages together).
