I'm binding an art photobook and want to make a nice flat spread

Does anyone know how to do this or where I can get the tutorials?

I heard about "outbind" book binding technology

Can anyone tell me what this is? I'm just looking for the perfect way to bind this art book

Send me all of your thoughts guys!

If you want them pages to lay flatter than a pancake, look into lay-flat or Otabind-style binding. That's what you need to check if you're focusing on making photobooks for now. I haven't heard much about outbind tho. Might be a mixup or a newer tech term that I still am not familiar with lol.
 
Just to add, hardbound with sewn signatures is usually the most durable for art books for longevity and presentation
