My personal little interpertation...is that the soul of the story is perfectly bound to the paper. But the real meaning is probably to do with the material structure of the book, namely the binding.

Kind of like how a paperback has the pages glued into the binding (as opposed to a saddle-stitch or side-stitch where you use staples).

Yes, 'perfect binding' refers to a glued, smooth back with a cover and no perforations in the spine. Not to be confused with 'spiral' or 'comb' bindings, for example.
