    i made small mini books to send out and just staple bound them with one of those long swingline staplers. kinkos always has one or they're about $25. i've also done a few zine projects bound with those things that have two prongs that go through holes and bend over... i don't know what they're called, but any office store has them.

    if you want to get into sewing them, look up basic pamphlet stitch. its basically a figure 8 through 3 holes. holds it tight and gives it a handmade feel. there are also a bunch of simple japanese binding stitches that you could do.
