If not too many pages, you can actually sew them on a sewing machine. Just run tape (cloth, heavier paper, not sticky) up front and back of edge to be bound, then just run the thing through the sewing machine. If anyone needs instructions on the japanese-style sewn binding I can put together a little users manual thing. Both instances easier if fewer than, say, 30 pp. however. Otherwise machine don't work and japanese style needs to be bored first (drill or awl or gimlet).
