Carl,
The perfect binding that allows books to lie flat is called "Lay-Flat
binding." It requires a particular machine and is only economical on
large runs.
When I looked for a printer that could do this, I asked the equipment
manufacturer for a referral. Nobody in Houston could do it. I had to go
to Austin to find a printer who could.
If you are doing a large run, your printer could subcontract this
without involving you. You will pay shipping either way.
