Come on, Nathan.. is it really possible to achieve such results at home without a $1,000~$10,000 machine?

Frankly, yes. I know it sounds too good to be true...but it is indeed true.

First, think about what a paperback book is :
 a wad of pages pressed together with some glue on one edge and a piece of light cardboard wrapped around (the cover). The concept itself is very simple. I am not obviously implying that $1,000/$10,000 machines are overpriced junk, or that they are useless, but that their functionality can be easily replicated at home if you know how. 

You see, the technology is already here. Today powerful computers and quality inkjet/laser printers are readily available, and they are dirty cheap! To apply the techniques I show in my course you are fine even with an old computer. One of my clients uses Linux, and old Pentium computer (we are talking about mid-90s era computers here!) and an inkjet printer, and he is doing just fine.

Printers nowadays yield great prints . Even the cheapest inkjet models can print at photo quality, something that wasn't possible even just 10 years ago. And they cost less than $100!

And laser printers, even cheap ones, can print so sharply that I challenge anyone to notice a difference between a laser printed page and an offset printed page. Digital publishers use laser printers!

So the problem is not the availability of the equipment - but the availability of the information about how to use that equipment. Just as having a pencil doesn't make you a Da Vinci, having access to a computer and the tools doesn't make you a publisher. You need to know how to handle the stuff or else you will obtain just a skewed piece of glued pages.

It's not rocket science, but you must know exactly how to handle all the process. An inch/centimeter off, and you can throw away everything. 

My course will give you everything you need to start creating your own books RIGHT NOW. Years of trial and error and headaches are condensed into an easy, step-by-step guide. You just need to follow the instructions and enjoy your book. Guaranteed. :)

Will my book look entirely professional? I don't want an "amateurish" look.

Technically speaking, yes. The binding will look 100% professional, your book will be nicely square, it won't fall apart after a couple of days, the pages will not detach themselves if you open the book completely or bend it etc etc. Of course how the rest of the book will look depends on your writing and designing skills. :)

But as far as the binding is concerned believe me, as long as you will follow my instructions your book will be 100% professional.

Do you have some "proof"? Such as photos of books made with your method?

Sure! Please visit the Photos page.

Sounds pretty difficult. I barely know how to fold a page, will I be able to do all this?

Sure. I saw both kids and grown adults binding books following  my techniques. It's really easy. The course gives you a step-by-step method, with photos, illustrations and clear and concise explanations. In addition, you'll get a "straight to my desk" email in case you need support or clarifications... which probably you won't need anyway.

Will I have to use hot glue?

Absolutely not. You will use cold glue. It is cheaper, safer and stronger.

Will I need to rough the spine?

No. Spine roughening is a procedure used when using hot glue, to increase its penetration and achieve a stronger binding. Since we are not going to use hot glue, the step is unnecessary.  Please note that cold glue is actually stronger.

I am located in [insert country name/world zone here]. Will I be able to follow your instructions?

Absolutely. All the measurements are expressed in both centimeters and inches, and all the explanations take into consideration both International paper sizes (A4 and such) and US (Letter, Legal etc.) paper sizes. I have customers from every part of the world, and all are satisfied.

Can I bind only A5 or 5 ½ x 8 ½ sized books?

You can bind book of any size! I focus mainly on "common" sizes because they are easy to handle as they are based on extremely common formats, but if you have a particular size in mind you can adapt the design very easily. 

Do I need to buy additional software?

NO! I will explain in details where you can find 100% free programs to do the job, and how to use them. You won't have to spend a dime in software to apply my techniques.

Is ordering online secure?

Absolutely. I use ClickBank for all the transactions. ClickBank is one of the most famous and respected payment processor of the web, based in Ohio, USA. Your credit card details will be 100% SSL encrypted and protected, not accessible to anyone (including me! I do not have access to your billing information, I just know that you placed an order).

Do You have an affiliate program?

Sure! We have an affiliate program which is 100% free to join and highly profitable - click here for more info!

When will I receive the  eBook?

Immediately right after your order you will have access to the download page. No waiting! You will also receive a receipt by email, of course, and a link from which you can download the course again if needed.

Can I bind only paperback books?

You can bind anything with a straight edge, so there are no limits whatsoever. I focus mostly on paperback books just because it's the most common and sought-after format. You can bind your novels, but you can also bind your photo books, or your comics, an e-book you just printed, a children's book, anything!

Actually If you do a lot of reading on the computer it's a lifesaver.

Exactly what is this Bookbinding machine I will build? Is it absolutely necessary?

The Bookbinding Machine is a simple device you will build by yourself, easily, spending  $20 at most using readily available materials, which will aid the bookbinding process. It will keep your pages together and squared, and will make the process of applying the glue and the covers extremely easy

Actually building the machine is not absolutely necessary, I will also show you how you can bind you book using other tools, but I strongly recommend it because it's definitely faster and easier. It's easy to build. I usually say that if you can play with Meccano, you can build it. :-)

How much time is required to bind a single book?

After becoming familiar with the binding process, usually the time required to bind a single book is from 1 to 2 minutes. It can be less, it can be a little more - it depends on your own speed. This doesn't take into consideration the time required for the glue to set, which varies depending on the glue - usually from one minute to 20/30 minutes. But you can bind other books while waiting.

Do I require particular tools or skills?

No to both. You will only need common cheap tools like a razor knife, a pair of scissors and some Q-Tips and cotton swabs to handle the glue. 

Do I need a guillotine paper cutter?

Although I strongly recommend it, it is not absolutely necessary. You can cut the pages using any tool you want, and I will show you how you can avoid this step entirely.

What do I need to read the course?

You only need the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0, which is available for almost every OS on the earth! You can find it by following this link (opens in a new page).

Actually any PDF reader is fine, as long as it's compatible with Acrobat 7.0 files. If you are using Windows 95/98, you can use Foxit Reader (follow this link). It's free and very light. It's also available for Linux.

I use MacOs/Linux. Can still access your course?

Absolutely! All you need is a program to handle ZIP files, and a program to read PDF files. Most operating systems, including MacOs and Linux, have 100% programs doing just that. Acrobat Reader is available for Mac and for Linux, and the software I use in my course is free and multiplatform.
