Abstract

The method for preparing the spines of books for binding comprises assembling sheets or signatures (2a) into a book (42) so that they are supported by the base (22) of a pocket. The back of the pocket consists of an upper (26) and lower (25) section linked by a pivot. The base is then removed, so that the book is held between a finger (29) in front and the back of the pocket which is then swivelled so that the spine (43) of the book is at an angle to the rest of it. Independent claims are included for; (a) a machine for carrying out the method; and (b) a method for gluing the spines of books using the machine.
