Best i can add
You need whats called Desktop Publishing Software.
Do a google.
That and binding equipment will probably be costly.
Or you can pay for binding.

Microsoft Word has taken over quite a bit of the destop publishing. It's a little more work, but it does work. You need to get some books on using Word, but you can set a banner on Page 1, set columns, either 1, 2, or 3. If you buy a color laser printer that prints on both sides, you then sent the print job to the printer and tell it the number you want to print.

Then the printer will print the number, printing on both sides and collating for you.

Word is a SERIOUS pain in the you know what for doing page layout/desktop publishing. While it is defintely better than it used to be, I would personally much rather use Micro$oft's rather anemic Publisher page layout program than Word for any real page layout stuff. Better yet, get either Adobe InDesign or Quark Xpress if you are doing any heavy duty page layout stuff.
