and they area for DIY Scrapbooking. Sandy has had some great ideas for cute and simple do it yourself bindings. I make all of my own books, never have bought a scrapbook yet. You can also design the pages to the size, shape, color you want and then take it to a Kinko's and have it comb bound, it is cheap, it looks pretty good especially if you tie ribbons around it when done and it is durable.

i made a similar book for my son at that age. I bound each page with duct tape in the right colr. Just lay adjacent pages down, smooth tape over the join. Fold closed, attach next page with next color. I edged each page with the tape too. It was a pretty indestructible book. I dont' have it anymore tho or i would take a picture.

This one comes from Ductigami: The Art of the Tape by Joe Wilson. He does a much better job of describing it. Buy the book.
I use this to make covers for my lab books at work. Nothing says "professional" more than a duct tape lab book cover!
