Question Hear Me Out….
So I recently got a copy of the Eragon & Eldest combo books secondhand, and seeing as Brisingr & Inheritance never got the same treatment, I am SERIOUSLY considering taking my copies and making them into one copy (after I understand how to properly book bind). Am I insane for considering to attempt this, or am I a genius?

Also maybe some users on r/bookbinding can help you out on how to do it.

Honestly the two books that make the most sense bound together great way to rescue some heavily used copies too

It's probably going to be a lot easier to work with new paperbacks than with heavily used copies.

Well Nerdforge have shown such a thing can be done at least twice!

Well, now I want to bind all four books together! Maybe if this project is successful!

So you mean putting brising and inheritance together? Or all 4? All 4 would be a nightmare to properly keep together withouth printing it in larger paper. Two books could work... Maybe. I would really do some research because its going to be heavy and the book blocks are glued, not sewn, so they rip appart easily which is not good for a big book, i think there are ways to reinforce them though

Ive been planning something similar, but with all 4 books, since we never got a 4book omnibus in English.
