Best way to bind exactly 6001 pages.

[Fifty]

Do they make binders thick enough to hold exactly 6001 pages? Or is there another good way to bind 6001 pages?

And what would be the most cost effective way to get it done??

Why would you ever want to bind 6001 pages? Just divide them up into volumes.

Exactly 6000 drops of glue!

The largest I've seen from something like Staples hold around 1,000 pages. And those are five-inch binders. Holding six thousand pages would make one giant binder.

I'd get some bookbinding glue and cloth, a small brush, two smooth wooden boards, some sand paper, and two to four clamps and make it into a book. Assuming you want these papers bound permanently and won't have additions. The actual process of making a book is not difficult (the above is all the materials you'll need).

That might cost $60 at most (if you get good clamps).

Edit, you might need some paper towels and saran wrap too.

Best way is volumes its not feasible to have it in one massive book or whatever.

 

[drachasor]

Though, I've never bound 6000 pages. I've done 600 or so. That's a pretty massive tome no matter what you do. You'd probably want a hard cover (which I've never actually done, but I know roughly how to do it*).

Are multiple volumes really out of the question? What are these pages about (if I may ask)?

-Drachasor

*Err, actually I did it once, but I messed it up slightly (book wouldn't open all the way). I know what I did wrong though. However, it was over a year ago.

I would put it online.

Use your bodily fluids to bind your papers. If everyone did that, we could eliminate all waste, end the production of glue and paper-holding-together-clips (Which absolutely kill the atmosphere), save the dolphins and porpoises, end all war and cure cancer, AIDS and heterosexuality.

Fifty Q. Fiftyson,

What, exactly, is this 6,001 page monster? Is it really infeasable to split it up?

EDIT: I just looked at a 500 page ream of printer paper. You're gonna need a really big paper clip, or weld a few dozen binder clips together. Or go to OfficeMax and ask them to do it for you.

Honestly, 6000 pages would be quite feasable and within reason. But 6001 pages? That can't be done, man.

 

[Tomoyo]

Stick a big nail through them?

I was told I needed to bind my 35 page finalist dissertation (admittedly I didn't check whether such a frivolous thing was necessary)... the conversation on deadline day went something like this

School Manager: "You've got to go bind this, part of this is about presentation you know."

teh Me: "Well X if this, my piece of work, that I hold here in my hands, my academic firstborn, the product of so many hours of reading, writing, typing, brutal editing, aching soul searching and yet more editing and revision, were to fall flat on its face because its held together by a plastic clip and not by cheap plastic rings, then madam, I will burn my sheepskin for either it does not deserve me or I do not deserve it."

I think I actually made her day because deadline day doesn't have much room for humor... amidst the groans, sobs and cries of finalists cursing their fates...




In answer to your question... gotta be volumed a single document of that size couldn't be lifted onto a table...

Split it up. Honestly, books are rarely published by professionals more than 1,000 pages. I've never heard of any one volume book being 6,000 pages - it sounds infeasible to me. Why not six one thousand pages volumes? (Or 12 500 pages books?) Would you really want to carry about something that's the equivalent of a couple of phonebooks around with you, even if you could?

What is this massive thing, anyway?

 

[Ansar]

You don't have 6001 pages.

Talk about something realistic.

Edit: Oh, I get it. You made the thread about 6001 pages because of your postcount.

Drive a nail through the top corner. Then bend a bigger nail, and solder it to both ends. Then use your bible to smash people who post more than you.

 

[civverguy]

Split it into multiple volumes.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

1. Get a giant tub of glue
2. Drop 6001 pages in glue
3. Wait several days
4. Voila! Pages are bound! They aren't readable, but they are bound.

 

[Leonel]

At work we have things especially for that kind of situation. We hole punch the stack of papers and shove a screw post through it when 3 ring binders simply can't do the job! It basically works like a nut and bolt but gentler for paper.

 

[skadistic]

3 hole punch each paper then use a leather cover card stock as covers. Insert a length or leather lace through hole and tie knots on each end big enough so it doesn't get sucked into the hole.

 

[drachasor]

Take all the pages, then salt and burn them. That'll take care of your problem.
