Excellent way of Binding Books

Almost 9 years ago, i used to do this, almost all students do this task of binding notebooks by hand using these tools in my country.

Tools:
- threads
- gooz [don't know what you call it in English, but this is the tool that we use to make hole and it has a hole on its side to hold the thread to pull in or out the thread through the hole made in the note book]
- gum [made of flour and water, you make it by adding flour to the water and boil it for a while until it becomes thick]

i remembered this way of binding like few days ago and then finally decided bind my madinah arabic books hand outs into a book, and i did as you see in the pictures.

i knew when we came to US, we took a gooz with us, my brother binds his materials and he did good job mash-Allah. i don't know how i forgot about it, and spent my money to bind ebooks at staples and to buy binders to keep these eboks. subhan Allah.

you can use any tools to make hole in the papers and then bring threads in or out to bind books like this.

after you finishing binding the book, you can put cover on it and make it look nice. that's when i used the gum i made. you put gum on the cover that you will put in the middle so it falls on the sewing area and you can put gum on the sewing area, so it is covered up.

i don't have the camera, i always use my sister's camera to take pictures. i didn't get to take the final pictures of the book i binded, i.e. after putting cover on it.

i kind of put too much gum so it has some wrinkles in the area of sewing. but it looks fine. alhamdulillah.

i am so happy to be able to find these tools and recall this way of binding, now i can download some nice ebooks and make them into books and keep them in my library. alhamdulillah.

in village, back in my country, we used to make so nice books using these tools. mash-Allah. just recalled.
