If you are going to screw into the edge do be sure to drill first. The screw will force the laminations apart as it occupies space.
It can be helpful to dip the screw in glue so it doesn't pull out. This gets increasingly more important as you go to thinner material. Three quarters of an inch is pretty heavy for that job. You might also like to buy some banding to iron onto the exposed edges. It helps to reduce the sliver factor and smoothes the edges. Have fun.
