Abstract: This invention comprises a two-piece cover for binding a plurality of sheets into a booklet or brochure. The front cover panel is adapted to having printed material applied to one side by use of a standard photocopy or offset printing equipment. After application of the printed design on the front cover panel, the booklet is assembled by securing the front cover panel to the rear cover panel. The front cover panel is secured to the edge of a stack of sheets by securing means or staples. The rear cover panel contains a flap portion situated along a longitudinal side edge which is delineated from the remaining rectangular portion of the rear cover panel by two hinge-forming scorelines. The distance between the two scorelines is slightly greater than the height of the stack of sheets.
