Hardcover™ Guide you can create professional-quality hard cover books
easily and inexpensively — in less than a minute.
Our covers are available in a wide range of sizes, colors and finishes.

sheets of stiff paper called endleaves at the front and back of the
document (available from you dealer). Once the book block is bound,
assembling your hard cover book can be done quickly and accurately:
1. Measure the bound book block with the Book Width Gauge on the
lower right side of the Hardcover Guide to determine the proper
Fastback Hardcover width (Figure 31).

2. Place an empty Fastback Hardcover, adhesive side up, in the
Hardcover Guide and clamp in place. The top and right edges of
the cover should be under the translucent green stops. If the book
width is C or greater, you may use the green plastic inserts to
ensure that the book block does not shift during binding. Remove
the narrow release paper from the right panel of the Fastback
Hardcover, exposing a small portion of the super-strong binding
adhesive that coats the interior hard covers. (Figure 32).

3. Set your bound book block into place against the Guide's
translucent green stops and press down to fasten the book block
to the narrow adhesive area (Figure 33). Your book block is now
evenly positioned within the cover.
4. Carefully lift the right side of the book block and remove the large
release paper from the right panel of the Fastback Hardcover
(Figure 34). Lower the book block onto the panel and press it
against the panel to secure it.

5. Remove the remaining release papers, (Figure 35), and bring the
left panel of the Fastback Hardcover over onto the book block with
the top and right edges of the cover abutting the purple stops
(Figure 36). Remove the book from Guide and rub the endleaves to
ensure that they are securely fastened.
If you wish, you can also add headbands (small cloth strips and the top

and bottom edges of the book's spine) for a more professional finished

appearance (Note: Headbands must be attached before the Fastback
Hardcover is attached. Foilfast Title Sheets are available on the Comp
