Im thinking of using the coptic bind for my book. This will allow it to be laid flat when reading for better functionality.

Method: Using signatures, these binding method has an exposed spine and threading that creates braids along the spine. 

Pros: Allows the book to lay almost flat.

Long Stitch

Method: Also known as limp binding, signatures are individually bound to the spine, allowing for the creator to make unique patterns on the spine.

Secret Belgian

Method: this binding uses exposed threads, wrapping around the spine, covers andthrough the signatures inside.

Japanese Stab

Method: Binds loose pages using exposed thread that wraps around the spine and on the top and bottom of the book.
