The approaches employed in paperback book binding are mainly economical without compromising the structure and functionality of the book. One of the most common methods is perfect binding, in which a strong adhesive is used to secure the pages at the spine and a soft cover attached. This qualifies for books with varying thicknesses and delivers a polished look. Saddle stitching is ideal for thinner booklets. It involves stapling the folded pages to create an effortless solution to bookbinding. Printers may also add a fabric strip on the spine or upgrade the adhesive to reinforce the paperback’s binding and protect against damage from frequent use, making it suitable for many genres.
