hit a bump in the road.

hmmmm.

is there a way i can bind a book similar to coptic but with single sheets of paper, rather than folded signatures?

i got a little ahead of myself and made covers already and the paper i bought is the size i want the book to be. i don't want to do a stab binding since i've already made the covers, and the book wouldn't open up the way i want it to.

i'd like to stitch the covers to the pages of the book itself.

if it helps any, here is a photo of the pages and covers. they measure roughly 7.5" x 5.5".
