[QUOTE="darjr, post: 9038696, member: 52905"] I wanted to bind the pdfs I bought from Drive Thru but also wanted a single volume. Someone out there did a redit of the original LBB and I kinda love it. It's a sewn signature binding. Note I got paper and book card with the proper grain (short grain) by buying a ream of 11x17 and having it cut in half. It was the thing I kept missing on all my earlier attempts, it makes a big difference. It's not great but I'm rather giddy about it. Here is the book block before the cover was added. Note the ribbons and the sewing. The ribbons are not the best but I was just doing this as a learning exercise. I'll get proper ribbons for the next one.
