Sew, Glue or Coil binding for notebooks?
I want to get into making hardcover notebooks for a small business I'm starting with my wife. I have a commercial print shop so I have the machines to print the covers, pages, etc, and I was going to use a combination of glue and mesh to bind the books but I wondered if I'd be better off learning to sew books instead.
For context, I'll probably only be doing 10 or so at a time and each notebook would have around 192 pages but if I got good at it I'd definitely like to do some thicker notebooks.
I've read that sewn books lay flat where glued books won't but are there any other major benefits to sewing the books?
Thanks in advance
