Bookbinding and its auxiliary branches . Joint material. B — End-leaves. All books so treated should be laid aside, with pieces ofbinders board cut to the thickness of the book placedbetween the open boards, and a final rub given the Subsequent books are treated in the same manner and arepiled up on each other with the boards and joints out andthe space between the book boards built up.

The books should then be carefully laid in thepress with the round adjusted, and pieces of pulpboardon both sides to prevent soiling or indenting.
