I was originally planning on binding the concertina to make a book with French folds, but due to a few reasons will leave it as a concertina. One reason was that is was fairly expensive to have the book printed and I'm really happy with how hat backs of the pages look - the colour is really bright and crisp, so I don't want to hide the texture between the pages. Another reason is that if it were stitched it would only be so you could tear it open anyway, which I don't think anyone would do during the assessment of the work or at the degree show. Lastly where I have folded and glued the concertina together there are small discrepancies in the page size which would be very obvious down the spine were is bound, but less so when it is stretched out as a long book.
