Swatch books and ways to bind my book.

 I really like the swatch book bind, however i feel i will have too manny patterns and the pages would get easily ruined, as i do not have the time to test this bind out on paper stock to see which works best, as the pages would get easily ruined, at the point in time i feel the japanese or coptic bind would work best, but before i try i want to make a small mockup of them both.
