Definitions

  • the invention relates to manufacturing books particularly in the context of desktop publishing.
  • a traditional book has a collection of printed pages or bookblock mounted in a cover by endpapers which are pasted to the inside front and back covers of the book.
  • the printed pages making up the bookblock are usually a series of folded over sheets or "sections" that are sewn together and assembled into the bookblock.
  • Commercial binding produces these traditional books of good quality at a reasonable price for large series, but for individual books or books produced in small series the cost of binding is prohibitive.
  • Thermal binding using hot melt adhesives has been widely used particularly for soft cover books. However, thermal binding does not produce a book having the same qualities as a traditionally bound book.
  • US 6,042,318 for example discloses an apparatus and method for hot melt binding.
  • WO 92/02888 describes a computer based book manufacturing, distributing and retailing system wherein the text and images of a large number of books are stored in a computer, and individual books can be printed to command and bound in a thermal binder, enabling the delivery of a selected book to a purchaser in a short time.
  • US Patent 6,126,202 describes a book publishing kit for children, the kit including a number of sheets and templates permitting children to provide text and drawings to be forwarded for assembling and publishing as a book.
  • a child's bookbinding kit has been marketed under the name "Story Plus". This is intended primarily for children to produce a book including the child's paintings on folded-over sheets. The sheets have large openings for the child to sew the folded sheets together and assemble them into a book using glue.
  • GB-A 2 221 190 describes making a book by folding printed sheets and wire-stitching them along the fold line, in replacement of prior techniques where the folded sheets were sewn along their fold line.
  • JP-A-2002 178664 describes a kit for manufacturing a printed book according to the precharacterizing part of claim 1. It describes producing a book using a personal computer using a standard story that can be varied by the author, printing on a standard printer and then stapling together the printed sheets and sticking the outside sheet of the stapled printed sheets directly to a book cover.
  • the invention offers a solution to the problem of short-run printing and binding costs. It makes it possible to print and stitch-bind to professional standards one-book units at a price that was previously reserved for a large series of printed copies (two thousand or more).
  • the invention provides a kit for manufacturing a stitch-bound printed book, whose principal components are a book cover, a collection of pre-perforated sheets that can be printed usually using a desktop printer of A4 format to make up a printed bookblock, and folded-over endpapers for assembling the printed bookblock in the cover.
  • the first principal component of the kit is a book cover composed of a front and a back attached by a spine for accepting a bookblock formed from a collection of bound pages of corresponding size.
  • the kit also includes a corresponding pre-perforated collection of loose single sheets for making up a bookblock that fits the book cover.
  • the loose sheets have printable areas. They are usually blank sheets initially. Their size corresponds to a given printing format, for example A5, 21x21cm, or A4, acceptable by available personal printers such as standard A4 desktop printers.
  • the collection of loose sheets has, along one edge that corresponds to the book's spine, a series of binding perforations for accepting a binding thread.
  • the loose single sheets are printable on one or both sides with text, images or both to constitute printed pages of the book, using a normal desktop printer.
  • the printed pages can then be bound to form the bookblock by reconstituting them as a collection with their binding perforations aligned and by sewing thread through the binding perforations.
  • the remaining main components of the kit are: a pair of front and back endpapers i.e. including folded-over sheets forming board papers that are attachable to the inside front and back faces of the book cover for securing the bookblock - which is formed by sewing together the collection of loose pre-perforated printed sheets - to form the stitch-bound printed book; and adhesive layers for securing the bookblock to the front and back endpapers and for securing the front and back endpapers to the cover, these adhesive layers being provided on the endpapers and protected by peel-off layers.
  • a pair of front and back endpapers i.e. including folded-over sheets forming board papers that are attachable to the inside front and back faces of the book cover for securing the bookblock - which is formed by sewing together the collection of loose pre-perforated printed sheets - to form the stitch-bound printed book
  • adhesive layers for securing the bookblock to the front and back endpapers and for securing the front and back endpapers to the cover, these adhesive layers being provided
  • the kit can also include a needle and thread, clamps for facilitating assembly, adhesive strips, a jacket, printed instructions and software.
  • the parts of the kit can be sold together or individually.
  • Manufacturing a book from a kit according to the invention involves stitch-binding a set of individual single sheets instead of the usual stitch-binding of folded sheets. This makes it technically feasible to print the prepared collection of perforated sheets in an A4 printer.
  • the kit also lends itself to using adhesive contact paper for the endpapers in place of the application of glue, simplifying and making binding practical and convenient.
  • the kit according to the invention is suitable for all publishing and graphics software users, including home users and semi-professionals as well as professionals. Such users, who are already proficient with home printers and publishing software, will now have the opportunity of binding their own work in a professional-looking book.
  • the kit according to the invention is suitable for sale via retail stores or directly over the internet. For instance, many web sites provide short stories and novels online to avoid printing and inventory management costs. Customized kits according to this invention can now be sold online by these web sites so their customers can produce a proper stitch-bound book.
  • outlets for print-on-demand books can use the kits with customized cover designs for binding the individually printed books.
  • This print-on-demand method is both financially and environmentally advantageous because it excludes all risks of overstocking and waste of paper.
  • print-on-demand books can now be stitch-bound at reasonable cost.
  • a claimed further aspect of the invention is a method of manufacturing a stitch-bound book in particular using desktop publishing equipment.
  • the stitch-bound book is preferably, but not exclusively, a hard-cover book where the bookblock formed from the printed pre-perforated sheets is mounted in the hard cover by end papers.
  • Fig. 1 shows the individual components of one embodiment of a book manufacturing kit according to the invention, namely a hard-back cover 10, a pre-perforated collection of loose single sheets 15 of paper, front and back endpapers or guard pages 20a,20b, a cover jacket 25, a needle 30 and thread 31, two clamps 35, a double or single sided adhesive strip 40 for reinforcing the cover spine, and a double-sided adhesive strip 45 for covering the sewn edge of the collection of sheets 15 when it is formed into a bookblock.
  • These components can be sold/delivered together in one or two boxes containing also printed instructions and/or software.
  • Software when included may contain assembly instructions and/or a demonstration illustrating the assembly process as well as printing instructions including protocols for standard printers, prompts for placing the paper correctly, etc.
  • the software can include standardized texts and/or images that can be merged into the user's input to produce the book's themed content. Typical themes would be for creating the person's own biography, presenting recipes, vacation souvenirs, anniversaries, or other events or subjects.
  • the illustrated book cover 10 is a hard-back cover made of cardboard, plastics material, leather or imitation leather, or covered therewith. It is usually plain but can also be printed on the outside, e.g. with customized cover designs useful for individuals or businesses who want to produce a series of books with a special cover.
  • the cover 10 can alternatively be a paperback or magazine-type cover.
  • a soft cover will usually employ a paper weighing 180-200 g/m2.
  • the illustrated cover 10 has a rigid front 11 and back 12 connected by a spine 13.
  • the width and height of the cover's front 11 and back 12 may slightly exceed the dimensions of the collection of sheets 15, and the thickness of spine 13 is chosen according to the intended number of pages of the book.
  • a hard-back cardboard cover 10 like the one shown has, on its inside, folded over edges 14 leaving uncovered central parts 17 that will be covered in the final book by outside parts of the endpapers 20a,20b forming so-called board-papers.
  • the collection of sheets 15 is usually made of A5, 21x21 cm format, or A4 paper, all printable in standard A4 printers.
  • A4 is a practical maximum size adapted to usual desktop printers.
  • the paper is usually good quality ink jet paper, typically weighing at least 100 g/m 2 , preferably at least 120 g/m2. Paper of 135 g/m2 gives excellent results as it permits high quality recto-verso printing on standard printers and is not likely to warp when printed.
  • Ink-jet paper is prefered for kits sold to the public as ink jet printers are in more widespread use by individuals. Sheets of a quality specially intended for laser printing can also be used, in particular for professional users.
  • the collection of sheets 15 has, along and in the proximity of one edge that corresponds to the book's spine 13, a series of binding perforations 16 for accepting the binding thread 31.
  • This thread 31 is standard white binding thread, and can be supplied in a length of, say, 500 cm.
  • the perforations 16 are of corresponding narrow diameter, about 1-2 mm, able to accept a double thickness of the thread 31.
  • the sheets 15 are pre-perforated for example by punching or drilling packets of the sheets of paper, before they are separated into collections of a given number of sheets that are included in the kit.
  • the perforations 16 are suitably spaced from the edge of the sheets 15, say by about 2-4 mm. They can be uniformly distributed along the side of the sheets 15, or can have another distribution, for instance spaced wider apart in the middle.
  • the spacing and distribution of the perforations 16 can be adapted according to the length of the book spine 13, the intended number of pages, the thread specifications and the paper weight. Typical spacing of the perforations 16 is in the range 3-18 mm.
  • the perforations 16 are so arranged that when the collection of sheets 15 is reassembled after printing the corresponding perforations 16 can be aligned only by placing the sheets in their original orientation. This is conveniently achieved by having a perforation at one end with a different spacing than the others, so it is necessarily out of register if the sheet is inverted.
  • the double-sided adhesive strip 40 has a length equal to the length of spine 13 and a width of, say 80 mm which is suitable for all spine widths.
  • the double-sided adhesive strip 45 has a length equal to the spline-forming edge of the sheets 15 and a width of, say, 30 mm which is suitable for the thickness of the collection of sheets 15 to be bound.
  • the endpapers 20a,20b serve for assembling the book in the traditional manner.
  • Each endpaper 20a,20b is a folded-over sheet of double the dimensions of the sheets 15, having an adhesive on one or both of its outer faces protected by a peel-off layer 21 (see Figs. 5/7 ).
  • Having an adhesive and a peel-off layer 21 on both outer faces is advantageous from the manufacturing standpoint, as the endpaper 20a,20b can be made simply by folding an adhesive sheet twice the size of sheets 15. Having two adhesive outer sides also serves to firmly attach the bookblock 18.
  • the pair of clamps 35 are simple metal or plastic butterfly clamps that serve to secure the collection of pages 15 between the cover 10 in a temporary position for facilitating sewing together of the collection of pages.
  • the cover jacket 25 is like those fitted on traditional books except that it can be left blank for printing by the user. It is typically made of ink-jet (or laser) quality paper say from 135 g/m 2 to 200 g/m 2 with a matt or gloss outer surface. Its dimensions exceed twice the dimensions of the book cover 10 so it can be fitted on the finished book by folding it over the edges of the front and back 11/12.
  • the cover jacket 25 will exceed A4 dimensions and is initially folded in a configuration corresponding to a flat dimension that can be accepted by a standard A4 printer. The jacket 25 is thus pre-folded to A4 dimension or less and placed in the printer with the fold entering first.
  • the size of the sheets 15 corresponds to the size of the cover 10, and the number of sheets 15 included in a kit for individual sale corresponds to the width of the spine 13.
  • the spine 13 can be provided in several standard dimensions corresponding to a number of pages of paper of given weight in a given range.
  • the kit will usually be supplied with the maximum number of sheets corresponding to the width of spine 13, or more, leaving it to the user to produce a book with less pages. Excess pages can be used for trial printing.
  • the kit can be supplied with several covers 10 of the same size or of different sizes, and with packages of the perforated sheets 15 whose dimensions correspond to the size(s) of the supplied covers. These packages can be divided into the requisite number of sheets when each book with a given cover 10 is being manufactured.
  • the width of spine 13 determines the number of pages to be bound, for paper of a given weight. Taking 135 g/m2 paper as an example, a 7 mm spine of a hard-back cover can accomodate say about 15 - 25 pages; a 10 mm spine about 25 - 30 pages and a 12 mm spine about 30 - 50 pages. Soft back covers can accommodate from 5 pages.
  • the pre-perforated sheets 15 are printed by the user to create the desired content of the book consisting of text and images, using a standard A4 desktop printer. Creation of the book content according to a given theme can be assisted by software provided with the kit, as previously mentioned. For printing, the user will usually be familiar with the performance of his printer and only has to set the print command to accept the particular format of the sheets 15 (A5, 21x21 mm, or A4, for example), and orient the sheets according to the printer's specifications. The visible perforations 16 along one edge of the sheets 15 assist the user in selecting the proper feed orientation.
  • the kit can also include instructions to assist the user in printing.
  • the endpapers 20a,20b are provided on both outside faces with adhesive protected by peel-off sheets 21, the front face of the first page of the book and the rear face of the last page of the book are left blank, either by a print command or by removing these sheets from the collection of sheets to be printed and putting them back after printing.
  • the other sheets can all be printed recto or recto-verso.
  • Recto-verso printing the user will follow the prescribed routine for his printer, e.g. by passing the packet of sheets 15 twice through the printer if the latter does not print recto-verso automatically. Recto-verso printing may also be assisted by the user's desktop publishing software or by software supplied with the kit.
  • the pre-perforated sheets 15 are assembled in a block with their perforations 16 aligned.
  • the user collects the sheets into a block and gently taps the edges against a flat surface until a perfect register is obtained, which can be seen by looking through the perforations 16. If a sheet is incorrectly placed, this can be seen as the corresponding perforations in the other sheets will be out of alignment.
  • the user can then re-orient the sheet in question, re-constitute the block and bring the perforations 16 into register.
  • the collection of printed sheets 15 is then placed in the cover 10 as illustrated in Fig. 2 and clamped in place as shown in Fig.
  • the user sews them together by passing thread 31 through perforations 16 using the needle 30.
  • the thread 31 is passed through the first perforation 16 and the tail 32 of thread 31 attached to a clamp 35.
  • the needle 30 is then passed through each successive perforation 16 all along the edge of the sheets 15, and then back.
  • the thread 31 passes from one perforation 16 to the next forming a double stitching 33 over the opposite faces of sheets 15, leaving spine 19 free.
  • this double stitching 33 is finished, the thread 31 is tied with a double knot 34 as indicated in Fig. 3a , attached to the side of the spine 19, and the excess thread 31 cut.
  • the collection of pre-perforated printed sheets 15 constitutes a bookblock 18 whose sewn spine 19 is then covered and reinforced by the strip 45, as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the user removes the protective peel layer 47 from one face of the adhesive strip 45, centres it so it overlaps the spine 19 evenly, places the exposed adhesive face of strip 45 on the spine 19 and presses the adhesive edges of the strip 45 against the opposite faces of the sheets 15 adjacent spine 19.
  • the next step is to attach the endpapers 20a,20b to the bookblock 18 as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the outer protection 48 of strip 45 is removed, at least on the upper face to be attached first.
  • the protective peel-off layer 21 on the inside of the front endpaper 20a is also removed, uncovering its adhesive face.
  • the inside sheet of endpaper 20a is then stuck on the non-printed front page of bookblock 18.
  • the same operation is then repeated, to stick the inside sheet of the endpaper 20b to the last page of the bookblock 18.
  • this forms an assembly of the bookblock 18 and endpapers 20a,20b where one half of each endpaper 20a,20b is stuck to the respective outer face of bookblock 18 and the other half of each endpaper 20a,20b is ready to be stuck to the respective inside face of cover 10.
  • the inside of the endpapers 20a,20b can be stuck to the bookblock 18 by the adhesive on the outside faces of strip 45. This leaves the front and rear page of book-block 18 uncovered, so that in this case these pages can be printed, if desired.
  • one of the strip 40's protective peel-off layers is removed and the adhesive strip 40 is stuck along the spine 13. Then the strip 40's outer peel-off layer 41 is removed, leaving an exposed adhesive layer 42 on spine 13. The bookblock's spine 19 is then aligned with the cover's spine 13, making sure it is centred as accurately as possible and, of course, in the proper orientation. The bookblock spine 19 covered with the adhesive strip 45 is then applied with slight pressure against the spine 13's adhesive layer 42, until they are well fixed together.
  • the protective peel-off layer 21 is removed from the outside of one of the endpapers 20a,20b, as indicated for illustrative purposes on the upstanding bookblock 18.
  • a ruler 23 is inserted between the two sheets of one of the endpapers, as shown for endpaper 20b.
  • the outer half 24 of the endpaper 20b is then allowed to drop gently onto the inside of the cover back 12, at the same time running the ruler 23 over the back 12 as indicated by the arrow. This sticks the endpaper's outer half 24 on the cover back 12 as a so-called board paper, without any creases.
  • the same operation is then repeated with the remaining endpaper 20a to stick its outer half on the front 11.
  • the fully assembled book is then placed under a flat weight, for instance a pile of books, leaving the spine 19 on the exterior, for a period sufficient to consolidate the binding, say 24 hours.
  • the finished book has the advantageous structure of a traditional stitch-bound book characterized by the stitch-bound bookblock 18 mounted by the endpapers 20a,20b, but thanks to the invention individual books or small series of books can now be manufactured at a fraction of the cost making use of available desktop publishing equipment.
  • the described assembly procedure can be easily mastered by adults and children with no prior book binding experience. It is even possible with a little practice to assemble a book in a comparable time to that taken for binding a book using an office hot-melt binder.
  • the invention unites recent desktop publishing technology with traditional bookbinding techniques to create a new and much-needed possibility of presentation for desktop publishers.
  • a stitch-bound book can be manufactured according to the invention using a bookblock formed from the collection of printed pre-perforated sheets and binding the bookblock in a cover.
  • the bookblock is mounted in a hardback cover using endpapers as described.
