A photoluminescent writing pad, wherein a) the writing pad is fastened to a back cover of a notebook and arranged to be turned to a writing pad of a page of the notebook, b) the writing pad is arranged to gleam through a writing page thus enabling reading and writing in darkness and c) the writing pad has notches for accommodating a spiral wire, especially spiral or wire or similar binding, of a notebook for securing the writing pad under the page of the notebook to function as an interleaf.

A bound system including a plurality of pages and a cover/divider bound to the plurality of pages and having at least one free edge. The cover/divider includes a tab secured to a body of the cover/divider such that the tab is movable between an extended position wherein at least part of the tab protrudes beyond the free edge and a refracted position wherein the at least part of the tab does not protrude beyond the free edge. The cover/divider has a slit/opening formed or pre-formed therein and positioned adjacent to the tab and spaced away from the free edge. The slit/opening is positioned such that at least part of the tab is receivable through the slit/opening when the tab is in the extended position.

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.
