Binding Professional Paperbooks Quickly with Ease
Jim Kelly gives a thorough introduction to professional perfect binding using the Fastback® Model 20 tape binding machine by Powis Parker.
Perfect bound books have full bleed wraparound covers that adhere directly to the inner pages of your book, making a paperback document in any size up to 12 inches in length.

With our innovative spine protector sleeve, however, we’ve figured out a method to create a very strong perfect bind without compromising the way the cover looks.
