Binding Considerations...

Now that I know what processes are being printed on what stock etc I can get my head around how to present it. I am starting to think that categorising it all by weight won't be very successful - due to there being less processes on one weight etc. Therefore I have been contemplating the notion of it working as a perfect bound handbook in a self containing slip case of sorts.
Perfect binding would allow for the sheets (all A5 single sheets of differing stock) to be compiled together without any need for adjusting the designs due to creep, guttering etc.
In total there will be approx. 53 sheets measuring approx. 340mm width when all compiled (rough estimate)
The method of perfect binding would allow the handbook to be more of a desirable object, less ephemeral and rules out any lost pages. There is also the consideration of the aesthetics - the colour of the stock will look very impressive when perfect bound.
