I have a couple of questions about DFAB comic prep. I've watched several videos and read information on how to tear out unwanted adds, back covers, or any other pages that you don't want in you bind. But what isn't clear to me is, do you tear apart the remainder of the single issues to all the pages are loose? Or do you leave the remaining pages together (stapled) and folded?

I understand you can add pages to your bind (ToC, extras, etc.) since it's not being sewn, I'm just not sure if you leave the signatures intact?

And do you remove the staples yourselves, or let the bindery do that?
