Book Binding


I've been playing with book binding, first making a tiny sketchbook with the covers made from Magic the Gathering cards. I have three massive binders of Magic cards sitting under my craft shelves, just collecting dust, but they're worthless on ebay and i can't bring myself to just throw them away (they're too cool for that!), so I may have found a use for some of them.

My second book is making use of an awesome hardcover book called "Adventure Stories", whose cover i really liked. I'm getting a much better hang of the actual binding and not sticking the pages together with the glue, but I cannot figure out how to trim the pages so they are all somewhat even. I've tried scissors and exacto knives, but they both do more harm than good. Any ideas?
