Abstract: A portable book binding apparatus is disclosed which includes a platform mountable on a support surface. The platform includes an elongated channel being sized and shaped to receive an elongated resilient binder clip. Resilient guiding and spreading fingers are mounted adjacent to and protrude into the entrance of the channel so as to spread the end portions of clip legs of the binding clip when the clip is inserted into the channel. A sheaf of papers is slid along the channel, pass the fingers and between the spread apart clip legs for final positioning within the binder clip.
