Abstract
An end leaf assembly for use in attaching a hardcover assembly to a stack of sheets to form a hardcover book and related method. The assembly includes first and second leaf sections, preferably formed from a folded single sheet, with the first leaf section being substantially the same size of the sheets of the stack. A strip of pressure sensitive adhesive, disposed on the second end leaf along the fold of the single sheet, is provided for securing a portion of the second end leaf an outer sheet of the stack. The pressure sensitive strip is disposed on the second end leaf at least 1/16 of an inch from the fold and is preferably no wider than 2.0 inches in the direction normal to the fold. The first leaf section is provided for securing the end leaf assembly to an interior surface of one of the covers of the hardcover assembly. A second end leaf assembly having similar construction can be used for securing to the opposite outer sheet of the stack and to the interior surface of the other cover of the hardcover assembly.
