If you're into bookbinding (it's great fun! /s?) what you're doing is effectively making smaller "text blocks". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookbinding#text-block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookbinding#text-block Cover => recto/verso => Endleaf => Textblock{ signatures... } => ...then back to endleaf + cover like a sandwich. I started with cereal boxes and old wrapping paper and have graduated to fancier wrapping paper and bookbinding board (stiffer, like matte-board). The great benefit of doing something like this is being able to glue one of those cool ribbons into the spine for use as a bookmark!
