All of my energy and mental control has been put into this. A MA dissertation. Due to strange timing issues I didn't end up at the binders in time. So I stared at some "velubinding" methods and concluded it was simply a post binding. Or in other words, a mechanized Westernized Japanese stab binding.
So I created a simple 5 hole binding stabilized with strips of mountboard along the spine with further stabilizing done through a 3 hole binding through the textblock itself. Fully satisfies my department's requirements: "bound securely and able to be displayed in a glass cabinet"
