The invention teaches a paperback book-finishing apparatus comprising a collator (13), a cover trimmer (with optional scorer (21)), a glue cutter (29), and a binder (25, 31). The apparatus can automatically finish books of different thicknesses. The operations of cover trimming, glue cutting and placement, and collating are all carried out by aligning to a common alignment edge. The glue cutter (29) cuts glue strips of variable width and the collator (13) collates printed sheets by synchronized tamping. The apparatus can be used with in-line, on-demand page printers and in-line, on-demand cover printers. The apparatus can be used in book vending machines.
