    "rubbery stuff that doesn't tear away material" ... you mean booger glue? Dunno the technical term.

    It would need to be a reusable housing device, so I doubt that would work. Interesting suggestion, though.

    Now I'm wondering if we just drill a small number of books for the few product dealers who ask for something binder-friendly. It's been a while since I've designed a perfect bound book that needed to be drilled. But if I recall, printers don't like to drill a book less than .25" from the spine. We'd need to account for a hinge score. Given that a 120 pg book would need a good .75" gutter margin, we might be ok. Just thinking about the possibility of some copy getting nicked.

    • yeah, you would just need an elongated "spine" or "shoulder"... whatever you want to call it. ha...sine
    • and maybe reinforce it with plastic strips (?)sine
