Robert,

no real answers for you as I'm just as interested in advice as you
are, but a couple of points:

1. I'm guessing you're in the US. I'm in Australia. So not that this
will necessarily help but perhaps it may interest, my wife and I met
with John Garner of Bookcrafts -- http:\\www.bookcrafts.net -- and he
can either bind papers into a book directly, or else -- for thinner or
glossy papers -- glue them either side of a carrier sheet and bind
that. The prices seemed pretty reasonable from memory -- perhaps a
dollar or 2 per page plus the album cover. But yeah, you could see the
edge of the carrier sheet. Fine for a wedding album, but maybe not
quite clean enough for some.

Anyway, I would guess that a matte double-sided paper could readily be
bound into a book by most bookbinders.

2. I know of someone who made a fine-art book on a 4000. He used
Somerset Velvet.

The big problem I'd like an answer to is exactly the paper to use.
Photo Rag, for example, is available double sided. But it's fragile,
scuffable. The Canson Canvas I have just acquired is lovely stuff:
sharper than Photo Rag and a less-scuffable surface. But it's
single-sided and, well, floppy.

I wonder if an answer might be a cheaper, double-sided, semi-matte or
satin paper. Something designed for proofing.
