A device for pressing a book casing onto adhesive-coated outer surfaces of a book block includes a circulating conveyor having a perpendicular section and saddle plates arranged to be conveyed upward in the perpendicular section. A press on device, with a press-on region and operating synchronously with the circulating conveyor, includes press-on rollers arranged opposite each other in the press-on region. The rollers respectively press one cover of the casing onto one adhesive-coated outer surface of a book block which is positioned straddling on one of the saddle plates conveyed upward in the perpendicular section of the circulating conveyor. A support plane is provided so that a book casing can be positioned and evenly spread out to match a length of the book block conveyed on the saddle plate. The support plane is arranged so that the book casing thereon can be supplied transversely to the perpendicular conveying section to a holding position for takeover by the book block. A flexible hold-down device is located above the holding position to press the evenly spread out book casing onto the support plane.
