A method of making a book or booklet cover including placing a first face of a sheet-like information carrier on a first side of a metal sheet that extends beyond one edge of the sheet-like information carrier. The method including bending a portion of the metal sheet along an edge thereof, for the portion to elastically press on the sheet-like information carrier.

A book or booklet cover including a metal sheet supporting a sheet-like information carrier, which sheet-like information carrier has a first face and an opposite second face, with the second face on a first side of the metal sheet, the metal sheet-having a portion extending beyond at least one edge of the sheet-like information carrier, where the portion of the metal sheet has a rounded bend along an edge thereof, the portion elastically pressing against the sheet-like information carrier.

A decorative book cover with only one folded front flap and an evenly spaced grid printed on the inside surface that can be used to cover books of all sizes and binding types and give them a uniform, color-coordinated, decorative effect for styled shelves and displays. The front panel of a books cover can be inserted in the front flap of the cover so that the cover can be pulled tight around the book and wrapped just like a normal cover and the back flap then folded like a classic paper dust jacket and then easily removed and fitted to another book of a different size; the printed grid allows for easily trimming the cover down for odd sized books.

A book workstation includes a left cover and a right cover, a center spine, and pages sequentially arranged and bound to the center spine. The workbook includes at least one of: a) a left-side underlay and a left-side overlay, each bound to the left-side cover via a left-side spine, or b) a right-side underlay and a right-side overlay, each bound to the right-side cover via a right-side spine. In an open position, the pages can be split into left and right stacks. Indicia on a top page of the left stack are equivalent to indicia on a top page of the right stack. Relative orientations of the indicia enable each of a pair of users to view the indicia on one of the pages at the same time. Each underlay and overlay can be interleaved between pages of one stack, or placed on the top page of that stack.

The disclosure includes a multi-media book system. An embodiment of the system can include a book system. The book system includes both an open and closed configuration. The book system includes a cover device and a book device. The book device is configured to fit inside of the cover device. Both the cover device and the book device are configured to function like a book and can include pages. These pages can be coupled to a binding or spine of the book device, separate from the cover device. The cover device includes a cover interior surface and a cover exterior surface. The book device includes a book interior surface and a book exterior surface. The book exterior surface is configured to mate with the cover interior surface via a magnetic coupling.

An information holding article including an inner part and an outer part, where the inner part includes a number of pages adapted for holding printed information, where the outer part includes a plastic cover with a first and a second side element and a back element provided between the first and the second side element and being adapted for mutual pivotal movement between the back element and the first and/or the second side element. The inner part is connected to the plastic cover at one of the first side element, the second side element or the back element, where the two side elements are spaced apart when the inner part is connected to the plastic cover and where the inner part is adapted to fit a certain width of the back element by including a thickness correcting element to the inner part.

Binding folder for the binding of a bundle of leaves, which binding folder essentially consists of a spine with at least one cover sheet, whereby the spine includes a U-shaped profile with a bottom and two upright arms, whereby the cover sheet is attached to one of the arms, whereby the binding folder is provided with a layer of glue to attach the bundle of leaves in the binding folder. The layer of glue is put on the arm or a rigid extension of the arm such that the layer of glue in relation to the U-shaped profile cannot be folded or moved.

A valuables-holding device in the form of a booklet which appears, when closed, to be an ordinary compositional notebook or pocket diary has a flange or transparent overlay extending around three sides of the inside front cover. A flexible covering plate, with its edge secured to the spine of the booklet, has its free edge capable of being slid behind the overlay. This will cover the space between the back of the covering plate and the inside surface of the front cover of the booklet. The covering plate can be slid out of the overlay, too, to expose that space. Secured to the inside of the front cover is a credit card organizer. The front cover and the covering plate are both preferably formed with a thin sheet of metal. Thus, the space between those components is electronically sealed or blocked from an RFID reader. The covering plate includes a slot for sliding paper money therethrough and into the space between the back of the credit card organizer and the inside surface of the front cover.
