1. PREPARING YOUR BOOK COVER AND PAGES
For best results, "shape" the spine of your book cover by lining up the front and back edges and gently creasing the spine with the palm of your hand.
All LINTOR book covers come with two sheets of crack-and-peel binding paper. Place a piece of the Lintor binding paper on the front and back of your book text pages with the printed side of the binding paper facing outward. (This binding paper will be left whole for the Large Portrait and Large Landscape covers and will be cut in half along the dotted line for the front and back of the Small Portrait book covers).

2. THE ASSEMBLY
Run a row of staples along the left side of the packet of text and binding papers, using a Lintor heavy duty stapler.
Peel away the printed side of one piece of the binding paper (this crack-and-peel paper will have slits about every inch).
Place the sticky side down (with the stapled edge toward the inside) on either half of the book cover about an 1/8" away from the chipboard spine in the center of the cover.
Peel off the printed side of the other piece of binding paper.
Fold the book cover over, lining up the front and back edges while keeping it away from the sticky paper. When aligned, press firmly.

3. "TEACH" YOUR BOOK TO OPEN
With the book on a flat surface, open the front cover at a right angle and press down firmly. Turn the book over and repeat. This step is important to insure that your book will open and close easily. |

4. REINFORCE YOUR BINDINGS
All Lintor book covers come with two strips of
reinforcement paper. Place these reinforcement strips over the hinge in the front and back of your book, aligning them with the top and bottom edges of your paper.
5. DESIGN AND ADHERE YOUR COVER LABEL
