Yes this is consistent with other binders.  I am not a fan of adhesive
binding as it seems to breakdown over time (no mater what type of paper is
used).  We almost always have ours sewn (expecially papers such as the one
you are talking about.)

P.S. which bindery do you use?  We use Heckman and have used American as
well.

Our experience is different. We believe that oversewing should be avoided as
a general rule. If pages are falling out, it likely is the result of
operator error at the bindery or a less than optimum choice of adhesive.
Please get in touch if you would like more details.

Angie,
    We have our bindery double-fan adhesive bind art books but they also cut little
notches in the spine so there is more area for the glue to adhere to (Metaknotch).
This seems to work quite well though we still have a page come out once in a while.
Really thick (over 2 inches) clay-coated volumes have to be oversewn as adhesive
binding will not hold. This is done for other clay-coated materials.
     Our bindery is Mid-Atlantic Book Bindery in Petersburg (formerly Colonial
Heights) Virginia.
     If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me.

Maybe if you use an electric eraser and buff some of the slick material
off of book it would stick to your binding.
