2017 is Dimensions 6th year,
therefore when binding using a multiple of 6 for stitching could be considered
in order to include this and make reasoning for choosing that binding method.
Coptic Stitch would work for this method. In bookbinding, section (sometimes gathering) refers to a group of bifolios, or sheets of paper, stacked together and folded in half. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with signature, though the latter technically refers only to the signature mark at the bottom of the first page of a printed section.
Perfect Binding - A more refined look
I decided to practice perfect binding for the prototype as it is more commonly used for catalogs, directories and paperback books that have a higher page count and the publication has 70 pages.
The book will lie completely flat when closed - a saddle stitch creates sometimes referred to as a “bow” in the middle. Therefore using perfect bound the finished piece will be aesthetically more pleasing.

Perfect Binding is suited to using a variety of paper weights - This is important in relation to my book as I will be using a variety of paper stock.
Also allows a printable spine.
Drawback - does not lay flat (when opened) You lose design
space in the gutter area.
The
sheets of the book are gathered together, a glue is applied along the binding
edge and the cover of the booklet is placed over and around it.The cover is wrapped around the glued pages, and the brochure or catalog is then trimmed to its finished size. A book
can be perfect bound as long as it is 28 pages or larger. In Perfect
Binding, the final page count just needs to be a multiple of 2.
