Binding the book...

Even though the book is to be given as a PDF to schools in order for them to print them out as this is more cost effective for schools. I do need to consider what if the book were to be published in the long term. Considerations like this mean that the layout, size and colours are very important, as well as how the book is to be bound together.

There are various different ways in which a book can be bound together, these include saddle stitching with thread, using signatures and glue, by adding a cover and finally using a ring binder.

After looking at the various pieces of research that i have conducted, i can see that a popular style of binding in children's cookery books is ring binders. Therefore I have decided to use this method on my final design.
