A very common method of binding is the ‘perfect binding.’ You stack together your pages and then glue them along the spine edge with a very strong and flexible glue.

Great site Brian. I thought this may interest you if you were not aware of them already.
The Old Stile Press are based in Wales and seem right up your alley.
Best regards. Mick

Brian,
I appreciate the referral to my bookbinding tutorial. Binding books has been great fun for me and very useful too.
Every week I get a new ebook of some sort and my best time for reading is on my subway ride to work – and I hate reading PDF’s on my PalmPilot. So, depending on the number of pages, I either do a glue binding, a staple edge binding, or a simple booklet.
I’m putting together an expanded report that demonstrates these three techniques in detail. It should be helpful for people looking to do utility binding projects that still have a high quality finish. I’ll be including all of the techniques I’ve learned for making great covers too!
Recently, after purchasing a bookbinding e-book, I decided to try my hand at a hardcover. The first one turned out pretty good.
Some day I’ll try my hand at making a fine-crafted book with careful attention to details and the quality of my materials. But, for now, I’m just creating books for utility and glue and staple bindings work just fine for that!
Thanks again for the link,
Andrew Seltz
