A perfect bound book construction is disclosed in which the book has a book block comprising a plurality of text pages, and a soft paper cover. The inner and outer faces of the cover are laminated with a plastic film so as to form a double laminated cover. The center portion of the inner lamination of the double laminated cover is conditioned or roughened, as by scarifying, so that an adhesive will adhere to the inner lamination and bind the spine of the book block to the double laminated cover. Apparatus for and a method of printing books on demand with such double laminated covers is also disclosed.
