Print double-sided. If your printer offers to print double-sided for you,
be wary: oftentimes it will print the next page upside-down, or the
registration (meaning the placement of the image on the paper) will be
off. I’ve had the most success printing one page, placing it back into the
printer’s paper tray, printing the next page, and so on. It’s tedious, but
worth it! Experiment with a few pages to make sure you have the right
setup for yourself, since all printers are different.

Once you’ve created the signatures, you line them up in order to create
what’s called a “text block”. I created the Booklet files with the “Perfect
Bound” setting, which means you put all the signatures in order, the
folded edge becoming the spine of the book, press them tightly together
using those big paper clips, and brush some PVA glue on them.

That... is a lot of information, huh? Which is why I recommend watching
this simple video from YouTube user SeaLemon: https://www.youtube.
com/watch?v=GFbgW0r7uXw&ab_channel=SeaLemon. They have plenty
of additional videos that go more in depth with bookbinding in case you
need extra support.
I hope this was helpful! I’m not a professional bookbinder, and I made these props for my
home game for fun, so I can’t answer every question. If you’re totally stuck, please reach
out! But I encourage you to do some web searching, as there are more informed people
out there than me, who can probably explain things a lot better. :)
