Talk:Bookbinding/Saddle stitch

Should we have a glossary for bookbinding terms within this wikibook, or should we instead link to wikipedia and make articles there?

Gutter seems too obscure to warrant a wikipedia article, but signature, pamphlet and many of the tools seem important enough to warrant an encyclopedic article on their history for instance.

Wikipedia's bookbinding article has a wonderful terms section, is it possible to hotlink the individual sections of an article? I have a feeling it is, I just have to figure out how.

Also, I don't think stapling is really a kind of saddle stitch. It serves the same purpose, but a how-to on saddle stitch would be more useful. At the Minnesota Center for the Creation of Book Art, most people call stapling "stapling" and call sewing a single codex "pamphlet stitch" and use the term saddle stitch for sewing a whole book with multiple codices.
