i am thinking of producing 100 small books
i know a couple of bindings that are time consuming
so i plan to machine sew the edges or do some kind of acordion style thing
i have long sheets of paper that are about
26 by 5 inches
and i dont want to include very many pages, no more than like 10 with the bound edge
i am open to ideas does anyone know of any awesome fast binding or a way to add something to the machine stitches to fancy it up a bit. any suggestions?

Wed, June 2, 2004 - 7:18 AMIf it's only 10 pages long why not use pamphlet stitch? It's a hand technique, but would probably take less than a few minutes per book. -

Wed, June 16, 2004 - 10:26 AMwell i decided to go with a floating acordian fold, because it is so beautiful when the center page is held and the book just hangs there....I actually just made 35, i didnt have the materials for a 100 like i predicted...these are books i am going to send out as a collabartive art thing...if your interested check out the tribe...all on the outside. -

Fri, August 27, 2004 - 5:46 AMahh... I probally mean bookart. I made these 35 books, blank on the inside, I screen printed a rough fleshy colored rectangle on the cover. The theme is s k i n. I have been doing mail art for some time now. I am mailing these books to artist around the world, they elaborate on them and send them back to me, I am working on finding a gallery to show the completed works, but combinding them all into one reproducable book would be ideal. This is the first time I have mailed out books, I have done postcards before and I have made several artist books, so I decided to combind my two endeavors.
