<p>A binder/trimmer (1) is disclosed in which a book block (BB) is placed in a carriage (7), jogged to align the pages, and then transported to a milling station (MS) in which the spine (S) of the book block is milled to roughen the spine, then to an adhesive application station (AS) at which a suitable adhesive is applied to the spine, and thence to a binding station (BS) at which the spine of the book is brought into engagement with the center portion (CP) of a cover (C) and at which a binding clamp (35) forces the cover against the outer faces of the book block proximate to the spine and then to a trimming station (TS). At the trimming station, the book is deposited in a nest (41) and is positioned relative to a trimming blade (63) which is actuated to trim a first edge of the book to a predetermined dimension. The book is then rotated to trim second and third edges thus resulting in a perfect bound book accurately trimmed to a predetermined size. A method of binding and trimming a perfect bound book is also disclosed.</p> |
