A method and apparatus for feeding a cover ( 10, 11, 12, 13 ) in the production of perfect-bound or saddle-stitched books, brochures, magazines or similar printed products ( 14, 15 ) featuring an inner part ( 2 ) that consists of a collection of folded sections, layers and/or individual sheets and a cover ( 10, 11, 12, 13 ) that is placed around the inner part ( 2 ) and connected thereto. A roll ( 3 ) comprising a wound-up cover web ( 4 ) is supplied, the cover web ( 4 ) is unwound and a cover sheet ( 10, 11, 12, 13 ) with the desired format height is separated from the cover web ( 4, 8 ) and fed to the inner part ( 2 ) in order to be placed around the inner part and connected thereto. This allows a reliable and flawless feed of the covers to the inner parts, and the operating effort for the cover feed is reduced.
