Default Anyone tried using a hot glue gun to bind books?

If there is someone out there with a hot glue gun, what do you think
the chances are of it sticking the spine of a paperback book, e.g. 350

Quite good, I've used it on a number of paperback books to good
effect.


Thermal binding is good for appearance, but plain old staples are quite
a bit more durable.


Are really long staples available? If so, from where? The book will be
about 1.5 inches thick.
