: Re: Recommend binding for book to stay open I would like to self-publish a book with a binding that allows for the book to stay open if you put it down on a desk. What would be an affordable

Generally there is one called Perfect Bound which is a lay flat binding.

CreateSpace.com (selfpublishing arm of Amazon) uses this and I've had good results with those books laying flat and being longlasting.
I write technical books and my book Launch Your Android App - amazon link is published by CreateSpace and available in that format and it does indeed lie flat.
See more about Perfect Bound binding at createspace : forums.createspace.com/en/community/thread/7810
Also to see the numerous sizes that you can publish your book in at CreateSpace, check out : www.createspace.com/Products/Book/InteriorPDF.jsp?sitesearch_query=interior%20sizes&sitesearch_type=SITE
O'Reilly Technical books uses a special version of Perfect Bound called RepKover, which they believe makes the books lie flat even better.
