ABSTRACT:
Improved lay-flat book products such as a book block (20) are provided which include a plurality of individual, marginally notched, alternating sheets (22, 24) having offset inner binding notches (30, 32); adhesive (36) is applied to essentially fill the notches (30, 32) in order to bind the sheets (22, 24) together. Preferably, tape (38) is applied to the spine surface (34) of the book block (20) and to adjacent portions of the outermost sheets thereof. Hard covers (48) and cloth binding (52) can also be added if desired. In a preferred method, a supply of marginally notched, unprinted A and B sheets (22, 24) are fabricated and the sheets may then be printed using digital equipment (e.g., programmable copiers) followed by adhesive binding. This permits economical production of short-run book products.
