If you don't want to use a book binding company, consider making your book available electronically. With an e-book you can still have many of the benefits of self-publishing. You can get an ISBN for your e-book, choose a cover design, get assistance with marketing and sales, and receive royalties on book sales. Like most self publishing companies, e-book publishers provide templates to help you format your book and lay it out appropriately. However, you will not have to worry about choosing a type of binding. Instead, you can focus on promoting your e-book, so you earn as much as possible from self-publishing.
