Screw posts are a particularly simple and quick way of attaching pieces of paper together in a book, and are popularly used for photo albums.

​

The advantage of screw posts is that they don't permanently fasten the pages together, which allows you to add or remove pages at a later date fairly easily - just by unscrewing the posts. You can also get a variety of sizes of post, so you can make a book as thick or as thin as you like.

In the video below, I show you how to bind an 'orange slice' notebook with screw posts and then make a faux leather cover.
