A book binding apparatus and method secures pages of a document in a U-shaped ch annel. The apparatus (20) automatically adjusts its binding jaws (42a, 42b) the current size of the channel (86) prior t o the binding force being applied to the channel. Operating forces generated by the apparatus in deforming the channel are limited by generating small amounts of deformation in the channel for each pull of an operating handle (22) to completely secure the p ages into the channel. A debinding apparatus (30) and method, using the same operating mechanism as the binding apparatus, debinds the pages from the channel. |
