[Koha] OT question about book binding

[uwe.boettcher at mail.de]

Good morning,   I'm afraid there's no way to give you a qualified answer to this question without actually seeing the book. Most forms of bookbinding - including perfect binding - are robust if done well and with respect to the book's anatomy. However, it depends very much on the bound and the material used for binding, but also on aspects such as gutter etc.    Since this is a software mailing list with probably few bookbinding experts to be found, I suggest to ask this question to experts. The Book Arts mailing list seems to me to be a good place for this, here you will find thousands of bookbinders and book artists from all over the world: https://www.philobiblon.com/book_arts-l.shtml   Good luck!

I have a 1200 page Bible, hardcover, published by IngramSpark. It has a glue spine that is remarkably easy to snap.

Will making a perfect bound paperback be less fragile? Will it be strong enough to satisfy buyers with standard expectations about book sturdiness?

Thanks,
