No tutorial on how to bind a book with human skin? Hmm...suspicious.
NoOtherExplanationIsPossible
Make one yourself, upload the results, get upvotes.
Lazauya
Thank you so much OP! Now I can finally make imgur book of all the images in usersub!
MultipleDads
Directions unclear, papercut my sphincter
jiffener
Better or worse than a needle mishap? I'm not sure.
kriositivity
My Mum in law loves stationary and journals... all that shit. Now I have the perfect homemade gift "idea"
ShakeDog
Why not make a spell that will bind spirits to your book?
SpikeWolfwood
That's like wishing for more wishes. Strictly prohibited.
ilikegrapes
This is pretty cool huh
iamthisguy247
TL;DR, because it's blank.
ThatJerkYouKnow
I never thought that I WOULD bind a book, and this really just seals the deal. Not a book binder, this man.
itsprobablysarcastic
Book bondage... That's my fetish
Phillyvinilli
None of you will do this, not because you can't, but because you're never off Imgur for long enough to do anything at all
jiffener
Yeah I'm sure he lost a lot of us at "go outside our somewhere well ventilated"
margaerydormer
We made this in Practical Arts in 5th grade. I failed that class.
tigercell
probably because they taught you impractical things, like how to sew books in the 21st century
JoshApt
Step 1 Drive to store and buy a book.

I realized this by the second picture. Not sure why I still read every word on the post..

I've got time for that

I literally sang the remix song in my head the whole way through this post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFEoMO0pc7k

That... was pretty well done, actually.

I bet the paper to make this costs more than buying a note book would
jiffener
Maybe, but it's a great idea for a special gift or if you like unusual paper like quad-ruled, isometric, some other weird line or grid, etc
Justinicus
If you use good paper here and buy a notebook with shitty paper, yes. I used to make notebooks for free using wasted printer paper.
curiouschups
I'm bound to fall apart attempting this

The "Good Luck" does not give me high hopes

NWeasley21
Tell me more about these spellbooks
missowl
i actually did this a little while ago, had a whole class for it :P ahhh pre-reqs
tigercell
please tell me this is a grade school elective class and not a college class you're wasting thousands of dollars on...
TheInternetIsMySavior
I learned this in college as well, but my degree is in the the printing field so it makes sense.
missowl
classes, i took art classes. i enjoyed it though, well worth the 3 grand...... almost.. ..... :(
missowl
i had to take 2 classes for the program, since all my requirements were done, and they still wanted those 2 classes and it could be any 1/
Risven
I would much prefer you teach me magic from your spellbooks, O Mighty Wizard Lord.
TheGillMachine
Once you learn a new spell, that spellbook is destroyed :(
NotSoSmartAlek
I don't know what lousy spellbooks you're studying from. It's scrolls that are destroyed when you learn or copy a spell from them.
TheGillMachine
Maybe they're prejudiced because I'm the Dragonborn.
flickerdart
Unfortunately, I am the High King of Skyrim.
SpikeWolfwood
Pifft... Elder scrolls maybe. We have high tech digital scrolls to teach us the arcane arts these days, old man.
Dooood
I think you're referring to E-Scrolls™. Of course, you don't get that "new parchment" smell... & having to plug it into a sacrificed animal.
SpikeWolfwood
Hey, I don't know what kind of rumors you've heard, but I've never "plugged it into" a sacrificed animal.
wamccarthy
THANK YOU. The filthy casual knows not the difference 'tween scroll and spellbook.
wamccarthy
Oh btw I am a D&D person, not Elder Scrolls, so the terminology is possibly quite different.
FaptainKirk
First off, it's tomes not books. Second, they are destroyed you just learn the spell from a tome a scroll is a 1 time use. Casual...
hette
Sorry, you're actually wrong about that one, assuming we're all talking about Skyrim. Regional differences maybe?

Tune in for next week's lesson: footbinding

I'm a publisher, can you do 12,000 before lunch tomorrow?
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
No fucking chance, mate!
kreyll
I'm not sure this can be implemented within the given timescale.
Dooood
Reference. It has been gotten.
kreyll
I am SO happy some people got this. Thought it might be too subtle. :P
Dooood
Honestly, it was just because I'd been browsing & had JUST seen the other post. When I saw your reply, I'd already forgotten the reference!
Oooldfart
Of course not but you don't TELL them that. You take the job, promise it for tomorrow, then deliver it next week with some lame excuse.
Justinicus
A publisher would know better, and couldn't sell 12k handmade books on short order anyway.
notwithstandingupordown
Actually yes, I sell sponsored editions in bulk quantities. There are many forms of publishing.
Iwearsocks
Not with that attitude.
Punphemism
Are we just going to ignore the cat?
purrrminator
I too was wondering that!
ScaleScentedAnalDildo
Yes. It drives them crazy :3

You should've printed the story on the papers before sewing it together,
ZedraTheFreak
Could be used as a custom sketchbook?

The person that made this guide is probably not the person that started this post.

"I use them specifically as journals and spellbooks"
TarynnosaurusRex
Unless they meant to leave it blank for a journal or for drawing.
Jthechef
That has got to be really hard actually, the page numbers especially, I can't get Word to do it right on a straight thro' doc
obsydyinn
I figured out a pattern to do 5 pages folded in half! You have to order the numbers funny, but I have the order so you can print & do this!
Shannerwren
Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Publisher (maybe).
221BFakerStreet
Page Layout > Page Setup >Margins. Multiple pages: choose book fold. When printing, go into setup. Choose multiple pgs, 2 pgs per sheet.
AmazingBlobfish
you still have to do only small booklets at a time and not a big one or the imposition might be flawed
jiffener
There should be an option to print booklet style, but I think you would have to do that 4 sheets (would that be 16 pages?) at a time
jiffener
Just guessing, I've never actually succeeded with that shit either
SpreadMeLikeButter
Handwritten always looks better.
reverseclopper
Besides, even if I could find a good D'ni font, filling printer cartridges with the right kind of ink is really hard.
DonaldTrumpsPubicCombover
Have you seen the average person's handwriting? Also, what happens if you make a mistake?
beautifulbiscuits
Favorites for when I have a month of spare time to make someone a gift that costs less if I buy it.
Justinicus
If cost is your primary metric, you must be a really shitty gift-giver. But WalMart appreciates you, don't worry.
HatsAreEssential
Lasts longer, though. Most published books are just glued together these days. Glue decays a LOT faster than good string.
Oooldfart
Smythe sewn books are lots more expensive but they DO last longer.
CthulhuApproved
True story: myself and a few other inmates made our own book(s) of shadows using this method when i was in prison! i still have mine!
tigercell
please tell me which prison you were at so i can get needles & spray glue in jail too
CthulhuApproved
Rawlins State (Wyoming) needles and glue courtesy of the guys in the garment shop (they smuggled them back to the unit all the time)
jiffener
Tell us more about this book of shadows thing
CthulhuApproved
Wicca...that is all

FoliageSeason
Not going to lie, I'm making a guide to a game I'm making and Imma make a hardcover copy of it with this shit. Will post results 1/2
FoliageSeason
2/2 in 1-2 months time. I'm moving soon, so spare time is short...but long enough to peruse imgur i guess ^^;
ohmemoryoflights
You realize we're going to follow up on this ...right?
FoliageSeason
Yep :D (part of me posting the comment was to help convince myself to do it).
hactar
So, where is the result? :-)

Ahahahahah
FoliageSeason
BUT! I just recently picked it up the other day, and remembered how much fun it was to make.
FoliageSeason
So yeah, got the idea for the system denied after 6+ months of waiting for a reply from WotC so I got grumpy about it & took a Hiatus.
LETHARGICpancake
I used to work at a bindery, we clicked out like 5000 of these an hour.
fringan
are you a wizard

Unrelated: Did James Darrow just say he makes spellbooks?! One Book to bind them all?!?
kittytard
that's hot.

Hi there

I sell bindery equipment... go figure

At first I thought how is less than a second per book even possible. Of course you weren't making only one at a time.

Classic. Haven't heard one of these in so long.
sam1tahsin
What year is this?
reuxlux
2014, why do you ask?
Lenton
Are you in the UK? Because 'bindery' is the kind of old-timey word that would be alive in the UK.
IllTakeAPotatoChipAndEatIt
I work in the bindery in my college in California. It's just a printing/postpress term.
Lenton
Fair 'nuff.
LETHARGICpancake
No, the states.
Lenton
Fair 'nuff.
WhatthefuckamIseeing
Except UK residents would say "bookbinders".
Lenton
Fair 'nuff.
affinityoftime
How would one go about getting work at a bindery?
LETHARGICpancake
Apply for a job at a bindery. Most skills can be learned on the job, machine skills preferable, but it can learned.
iamthisguy247
I used to work at a place that makes wafers and I used to eat the wafers. They always tasted better warm. This may not be relevant.
mcshady
How does one eat silicon? Isnt it sharp?
SenorGonzo
Warm wafers are allways relevant.
cozylace
I worked at a chocolate factory and they let us eat chocolates off the line <3
MissRenegadeRabbit
You. You are that guy.
DrunkenMurphy
I worked at a place that made concrete products. It was hard work.
TravDrinksBeer
Like what if I may ask? I work at a place that makes Steel/Plywood Forms among other things. Lots of different Form Ties and stuff
ButIDidntDieThoughItWasAJoke
I used to work in the meat packing industry, if you know what I mean.

At least it's not fudge packing.

hey man, how did you speed up the process?

PeaceLoveUnityRespect
By using a machine
Justinicus
A very expensive and quite dangerous machine. Binders frequently lose fingers.
LETHARGICpancake
A lot can go horribly wrong that is for sure.

Were you ever in a bind cuz you were way behind and looking to make a deal?
