After having my first graphic novel fall apart, I now send them all to our woodworking instructor. He drills 5 to 6 evenly spaced holes along the crease that forms when the cover is opened. He uses a drill about the size of a pencil lead. I then take heavy thread (or fishing line or dental floss) and sew up and down through the holes and securely knot the thread. THEN the entire cover (and my needlework) is covered with book tape. We've had no more graphic novels fall apart!!
