We have put together a little guide covering the most common book binding methods.
Perfect binding is when the book cover and pages are glued together at the spine. The cover is usually made from thicker card stock and laminated protect the book (often called a softcover).

Cons:
One of the most common and economical methods of binding. Saddle stitching is where pages are folded, creased and stapled together to grip all the pages.
This type of binding is often used for booklets, manuals and magazines that have a smaller page count.

Cons:
Wire binding (often called wiro or spiral binding) uses wire or plastic coils that thread through punched holes.
Pros:
Cons:
When case binding, the inside pages are sewn together giving strength and durability. This can be done in sections or by side sewing. Section sewn books will open a lot flatter than a side sewn book. Case bound books will always have a front and back end page, this is used to glue and attach the inside of the book to the hardcover.
