Robin I tried to check out upb glue on google and got this !
'A black fur evening sporran with six contrasting white fur tassels. Shown
with Celtic Square Cantle'
Is Upb glue the same as Pva ?(which I have but is wet)
Patrick confused as usual
That heavy duty stapler sounds tasty with long staples

Centre-stapling more than twenty sheets of paper (and it helps to have a
saddleback stapler to do even that) is probably the max -- after that, you
need to chop-and-trim.
I've produced my own copies of 200 page books (Vidocq's _Memoirs_, and Dr.
William Maginn, courtesy of googlebooks, with a pasted-on covers, are
possible, but tricky).
I think the bottom line is that it's pretty straightforward to produce a
forty-page pamphlet, but after that, you're into investing in hardware.
A 200 page book is really fairly straightforward with a duplex printer, Dahl
515, and a decent heavy-duty stapler.
... as I say, not exactly rocket science.

with a bog-standard inkjet and a Stanley knife ...}
The crunch comes in binding, and I don't think there's a way round that
other than an industrial-strength stapler and *looong heavy-duty staples.
UPV glue and perfect-binding *does (pace all the people who've denied this)
sort-of work, but for my own purposes, I've retreated to edge-stapling
anything over forty pages.
