This is a pic of the inside of that book I made. The pages I put together from "The Trouble With Coyotes" by -baird, It's all his (excellent) writing, just edited into 6"x9" pages in a word doc. The font is Book Antiqua, basically because I googled 'common novel fonts' and I thought Garamond didn't quite fit for SciFi for some reason.

You'll notice the book doesn't open flat. That's because I don't have a sewn binding with all the separate little sections (there's a name for those, but darned if I can remember it at the moment). Way too much work, not that that'd stop me. The difficulty of printing things out in a way you can actually do that is more relevant, really. XD

The book block is a modified perfect binding with sawed-in thread, which basically means it's held mostly together by glue backed up with thread tied-round the pages in notches sawed into the back where the spine is. It's pretty sturdy, but because of the way the threads are held in there, you wouldn't be able to open the pages all the way without snapping the strings. Not a problem, paper bends.

The headbands are just glued on just for the look of the thing. That's pretty standard for hardcovers, really. It just doesn't look complete without them, even though they don't actually *do* anything in this style of binding.
