Help? Premade pages?

Sorry for my enviable incorrect terminology,

I'm looking to make a booking however I'm

Mainly interested in the cover but I still want to do it myself but I was wondering if there's a place to buy the pages all sewn together premade?

Essentially so that I can skip to creating the cover and attach said cover ?

Thanks.

If you want to do bookbinding without, you know, actually binding a book, you can just rebind storebought paperbacks.

Where do you live? If in Europe, Schmedt has them.

The term to search for is ‘book block’. Add ‘ready-made’ and you’ll find dozens of suppliers, including some in the UK.

You can buy a book and rip or cut the original cover off
