I agree with others who have commented that plastic comb binding looks 
cheap and nasty.

I prefer wire binding -- do a Google image search for "Renz binder". I 
have a small hand-operated desktop binding machine of this type, but you 
may be able to find a local business that is equipped to do this work as 
a service.

The pages of a wire-bound book open out flat, so the images on the page 
don't hide in a gutter. I think this is a neat and servicable form of 
binding, suitable for a one-off item or for a short run.
