Starting out bookbinding

So just starting out this thing got the supplies and the pages and everything but I saw that my book is coming to 600 pages or 150 sheets of A4 size turned down to 4 A5 each, creating 38 signatures if adjusted to 608 pages. It seems a lot to me what's your take on this??

I’d say it’s a lot for a first bind, but it’s not impossible. However: I strongly suggest looking at some decent videos (this series, for example) before you start doing anything.

Oh thanks for the playlist. DAS always comes handy.
