Bugger...

Can't seem to find a printer who will spiral bind at A5 landscape; they can do it, but it won't be centered, which is unacceptable really. I really need these books to lay completely flat, so i either have to scale things up and go for A4 landscape, or maybe think about thermal binding. Really prefer wire binding to be honest, i think it works better for what i'm doing, but i'm worried that A4 will be a bit big, as both books have to be read in conjuction with each other. Another solution is for the books to be read still side by side, but the pages being turned over from bottom to top; but again, not what i wanted really. If anyone knows of a place that will wire bind at A5 landscape please let me know!

Hey Christine! I think worst come to worst, there won't be abythin wrong in doing it a4 landscape. For what ur doing I think landscape binding would be better as oppose to portrait. In the show, the A4 books will stand out more too (than a5) (since they're bigger)!!! Would you have to change many things to increase the size?

Hi folks,

thanks for the help; i've decided to do it at 21cm x 21cm, which is the length i wanted originally, but a little smaller in height than A4. I did think about A4, but it just seemed too big to me, especially as the two books would be side by side, that would've been 4 A4 landscape pages! I've spent the last week adjusting stuff, so let's hope it looks ok!
