[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the spine of a book. [Diagram 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the spine of a book. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a book 100. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a spine 104 of the book 100. The book 100 is a book produced by thread binding. The book 100 includes a cover 102, a spine 104, a plurality of sheets of paper 110, binding threads 122 and 124, an adhesive layer 130, and a paint layer 140.

[0010] A plurality of sheets 110 in book 100 are overlapped in sections 110s to form a plurality of pages. Cover 102 of book 100 is a portion formed by the sheets of paper 110 located on the outermost side.

[0011] The spine 104 of the book 100 is a portion where the spines 115 of the multiple folded sections 110s are joined together. The spine 104 has multiple steps 104s and multiple steps 104t. The multiple steps 104s are steps that appear in the spine 104 due to the shapes of the spines 115 of the multiple folded sections 110s. The multiple steps 104t are steps that appear in the spine 104 due to the shapes of the binding threads 122, 124.

[0012] The binding threads 122 and 124 of the book 100 are threads that bind together a plurality of papers 110. The binding thread 122 is a thread that binds together a plurality of papers 110 in units of quires 110s. The binding thread 124 is a thread that binds together a plurality of quires 110s by passing each quire 110s through the binding thread 122.

[0013] The adhesive layer 130 of the book 100 is a layer of adhesive applied onto the spine 115 of the plurality of pages 110 and the binding threads 122, 124. The adhesive layer 130 is formed using one or more types of known adhesives used in bookbinding.

[0014] The paint layer 140 of the book 100 is a layer formed of paint applied on the adhesive layer 130. The paint layer 140 is formed by applying paint one or more times. The title 150 of the book 100 is inscribed on the paint layer 140. The title 150 may be formed by drawing letters in a color different from the background color. The title 150 may be formed by drawing letters as an unpainted portion of the background color.

[0015] According to the book 100 described above, there is no spine cover on the spine 104, and the new structure in which the title 150 is written on the paint layer 140 formed on the spine 115 of the multiple sheets of paper 110 and the binding threads 122, 124 via the adhesive layer 130 increases the interest of the reader who picks up the book 100.

[0016] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing book 200. Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing spine 204 of book 200. Book 200 is a book produced by perfect binding. Book 200 includes cover 202, spine 204, a plurality of papers 210, adhesive layer 230, and paint layer 240.

[0017] The multiple sheets of paper 210 in book 200 overlap to form multiple pages. The cover 202 of book 200 is the portion formed by the outermost sheets of paper among the multiple sheets of paper 210. The spine 204 of book 200 is the portion where spines 215 of the multiple sheets of paper 210 are joined together.

[0018] The adhesive layer 230 of the book 200 is a layer formed of an adhesive applied onto the spines 215 of the multiple sheets of paper 210. The adhesive layer 230 adheres to each of the spines 215 of the multiple sheets of paper 210, thereby binding the multiple sheets of paper 210 together. The adhesive layer 230 is formed using one or more types of known adhesives used in bookbinding. The adhesive layer 230 is formed by perfect binding using a dummy cover. The adhesive layer 230 has a peeling mark 230p. The peeling mark 230p is formed when the dummy cover is removed during binding of the book 200.

[0019] The paint layer 240 of the book 200 is a layer formed of paint applied on the adhesive layer 230. The paint layer 240 is formed by applying paint one or more times. The title 250 of the book 200 is inscribed on the paint layer 240. The title 250 may be formed by drawing letters in a color different from the background color. The title 250 may be formed by drawing letters as an unpainted portion of the background color.

[0020] According to the book 200 described above, there is no spine cover on the spine 204, and the new structure in which the title 250 is written on the paint layer 240 formed on the spine 215 of the multiple sheets of paper 210 via the adhesive layer 230 increases the interest of the reader who picks up the book 200.

[0021] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, example, and modification, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiment, example, and modification, those corresponding to the technical features in each form described in the summary of the invention can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-mentioned problems or to achieve some or all of the above-mentioned effects. In addition, technical features that are not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted. [Explanation of symbols]
