Abstract:
An apparatus for protecting a layout of loose elements of a draft scrapbooking page includes a flat work surface dimensioned to receive thereon a scrapbooking page and an overlay. The overlay is magnetically cohered to the work surface when the overlay is placed over the work surface in covering disposition to a scrapbooking page, including scrapbooking elements loosely placed on such scrapbooking page, located between the overlay and the work surface. The improvement is characterized in that the apparatus includes, under the work surface, an array of magnets, and the overlay comprises a thin and pliable metallic rubber sheet, the overlay thereby cohering to the work surface due to magnetic force of attraction between the magnets of the array and the thin and pliable metallic rubber sheet. The array includes magnets arranged in a concentric elliptical pattern including, for example, a concentric circular pattern or a concentric non-circular pattern.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a kit for making an illustrated story book enabling a reader to complete an unfinished illustrated story book, thereby improving the reader's creativity and providing an album function of the reader. The kit comprises an unfinished illustrated story book including at least one separate space for attaching a reader's photograph thereto and photograph adhering means for providing an adhesive force enabling the reader's photograph to be attached to the unfinished illustrated story book. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the high costs required to carry out the printing through a separate printing operation with respect to each reader, to increase a possession value of the book and to serve as an illustrated book and an album at the same time. Further, in case of the pamphlet, it can maximize the publicity effect of an object to be advertised.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thick book capable of carrying a continuous printed photograph across a right and left page, with a feel of heavy bulkiness and an appearance of high quality, and a bookbinding device for the book. SOLUTION: This thick book comprises a plurality of two-page size printed papers 1 which are U-folded in the center part and each of single-page size reinforcing boards 2 bonded to an area across the spine through a bookbinding process. In addition, this book has the center parts of the printed papers 1 stuck way out of the ends of the reinforcing boards 2 by more than the thickness of the board 2. The bookbinding device for the thick book is equipped with a pasting roller having many projecting parts which absorb a surplus paste, in order to ensure the uniform pasting of the printed papers 1 and the reinforcing boards 2 of a different thickness from each other.

Abstract:
A lay-flay book block having a lay-flat pre-converted print stock and a method of making a lay-flat book block are provided. The lay-flat book block includes a stack of pages, a cohesive and a graphic, text or image. Each page includes two sheets of the lay-flat pre-converted print stock that are folded along a centerline which divides the sheet into a first leaf and a second leaf. The fold along the centerline forms a spine. The spines on the plurality of sheets are disposed adjacent one another. The cohesive is configured to be dry during printing and adhere in response to pressure. The cohesive is disposed on a first cohesive face of the first leaf and a second cohesive face of the second leaf. The first cohesive face of one of the sheets is mated and adhered with the second cohesive face of another sheet. The graphic, text or image is printed on the first and second leaves and expands across the centerline.
