<p>A method of fabricating a book from a bound stack of sheets (15) and a hardcover assembly (18) having first (18A) and second (18B) relatively rigid cover sections separated by a spine region (18C). A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive (30) is disposed over the inner surfaces of the cover sections, with there being a pair of release liners (36) covering both the pressure sensitive adhesive layers (30). The book is assembled by placing the hardcover assembly (18) on a surface and removing one of the release liners (36) from one of the pressure sensitive adhesive layers (30). The bound stack (15) is then positioned on the hardcover assembly (18), preferably using a guide apparatus (40) to ensure proper positioning, so that the one end sheet of the stack (15) and the assembly (18) will become attached by the exposed pressure sensitive adhesive (30).</p> |
