The apparatus includes a cover applicator for securing covers to signatures, a signature supplier positioned to provide at least one signature to the cover applicator, a cover feeder positioned to feed covers in separated relation to the cover applicator, and a printer positioned between the cover feeder and the cover applicator. The printer is oriented to print onto a surface (e.g., an inner surface) of a cover fed from the cover feeder. The apparatus can further include an item feeder positioned to feed items in separated relation to the cover applicator, and an adhesive applicator positioned to deposit adhesive between the item and the cover. For example, the printer can be oriented to print on a printed area of a cover fed from the cover feeder, and the item feeder can be oriented to deposit an item onto the printed area. Preferably, the apparatus further includes an item printer positioned to print on an item fed from the item feeder.
