ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a bookmark for a book, a method of making a book includes the step of applying a releasing adhesive to an inner surface of a front or rear cover having an initially greater width. The outer portion of this cover is then folded inwardly along a fold line so as to be in generally confronting relation with the inner surface of that cover to cause the width after folding to generally correspond to the width of the other cover. The outer portion of that cover is folded along the fold line so as to place the releasing adhesive in adhesive contact with confronting surfaces of both the folded outer portion and the remainder of that cover to adhesively secure them together after they have been folded into confronting relation. The cover is affixed to the body of a book and the book is trimmed inwardly of at least the fold line of that cover and inwardly of the foredge of the other cover to form a finished foredge for the book while at the same time severing the folded outer portion from the remainder of that cover. In this manner, the severed folded outer portion becomes an easily separable bookmark releasably secured by the releasing adhesive to the cover of the book.
