It would work to keep them together as long as they were not moved, opened, etc. Your best bet, and cheapest, is to get a heavy duty "three hole paper punch" and three self-locking binding rings. They are tongue and grooved to stay together unless spread from the side!

Not long ago I answered a similar Q. I worked in the printing trade for a few years; and in essence answer one offers valid suggestions.
In order to do what you intend; you'd need a "PRESS" to squeeze the pages together; and use a rubberized; specific glue. Certainly some is absorbed by the pages in a minor measure; but too it's all held together temporarily by the glue; against the spine.
If you've ever taken notice; a paperback book will eventually lose pages if the binding is opened/closed/broken often enough.
Without at all knowing your intent; or the desired shelf life of the pages bound; certainly you have numerous options.
You might look through the WWW using your browser and keywords, directed at BOOK BINDING techniques and various processes.

If you're talking about a permanent fix, like a book binding, no it won't work. It would hold for a short period of time, as long as you didn't turn the pages much, but eventually the pages will loosen and come out. The procedure works quite nicely if you want to make scratch pads out of scrap paper, however. Just be sure to use plenty of rubber cement and maybe even put on a second and third coat.

If you have a "KINKOS / UPS" copy store in your town, take it there and have it book bound for less than $5.
