(Books available from suchwasnot.com) In this video I show how to create a professional-quality paperback book by hand, using cheap and widely available materials and tools. Some of you asked for links to the materials, so to point you in the right direction: the cutter/ guillotine is from PainterSisters Neuss; the paper for the content is generic 'novel printing paper'; the paper for the cover is Canson Figueras; the mull for the spine is a flexible net-like thing that I buy at a local bookbinder; the glue is 'bookbinders glue', which is a kind of wood (or PVA) glue; the printer is a regular office laserjet from Ricoh. (PS. I accidentally deleted quite a few comments. Sorry if yours was among them!)

For a long time I wanted to bind a book for myself, but I didn't think that skills would be this easy to learn. I was wrong! Congratulations on your novel.

WOW... EXCELLENT VIDEO... AMAZING. I have been waiting for 20 Years for this video. I have so many manuscripts waiting to be published... and knowing that somehow I could do my own bookbinding some day... reason being, I had taken my manuscript to a printer/publisher in a tiny town in New Mexico... Lincoln County, New Mexico... (hint hint) "Billy the Kid" Country. I have written a book on BTK... and was told NOT to go to this certain said publisher, because they were known to "Sell out the backdoor" because they would use the ISBN # of the book... I didn't believe it... so I went to this printer/publisher... but I wanted to do the binding on my book, because the first 50 books would be signed & number with leather book cover and gold lettering. The printer insisted on buying the ISBN #... and would NOT print my manuscript if they could not also have the cover. She really wanted to print and publish my manuscript on Billy the Kid.HUM... I guess a few people were saying had to be true. I told the owner of the printing company what I had heard (still not wanting to believe it)... and that I would not let her print and publish my book... The look on the ladies face was a tell-tale sign, a few months later, she closed her business and moved out of town. Since then, I have written a few more books (manuscripts)... knowing I couldn't do it justice because I only knew of the old method of book binding and not having a machine to CUT the paper... UNTIL TODAY... YOUR VIDEO... has changed my life. I love the way you did this book. 11:44... (Be still my heart) ... Where did you get that small paper cutter... That is Unreal... That is a Game Changer.... This video... YOU are a GOD-Send... I have tears in my eyes... so happy. Thank you with all my heart for making this video...

I've been following your tutorials lately, it's been great learnign how to program in OpenSesame, mostly because of the online experimentation option. I was so surprised when I saw this tutorial that I coulnd't help myself but to comment. I'm a big fan of short stories and bookbinding, I'm definitely trying this method! Also, I would like to know if there is a digital format option for purchasing these stories, as I'd be really happy to read them! It was fun and unexpected to see so many of the things I enjoy in one place! Thank you so much for all your tutorials! They allowed us (the staff at the lab) and our students to run experiments even without access to our lab during the pandemic, and now it made me want to try and print my very own book! Greetings from México!

Hi Roberto, thanks for the comment! I haven't put the stories online because I like the idea of physical books. On the other hand, this is quite limiting because shipping can be unrealistically expensive. Hmm ... I'm going to think about this.

Hi!! This sounds silly but could you show us a bit more about the cover specifically and how you printed it? I have a laserjet home printer but last time I tried to print on something like cardstock (which weighs less than the paper you’re using for your cover) it didn’t work and I wasted a LOT of toner. I’d just love to see that process because I bind hardcover and paperback books and have yet to find a solution for this.
