Claim:
Apparatus for making a booklet-like product, characterized in that it comprises: a paper feeding part for feeding downstream, a continuous web or webs of paper of a width or widths multiple of and/or equal to a product width; a superposing part for superposing while matching in phase, a plurality of continuous webs of paper fed to travel from said paper feeding part, said continuous webs of paper comprising: continuous webs of paper of the product width yielded from said continuous web or webs of paper of the width multiple of the product width by cutting in its or their traveling direction(s) by slitting means and/or said continuous web or webs of paper of the width equal to the product width, whereby a layered continuous sheet of paper is prepared; a cutting part for cutting said layered continuous sheet into separate layered sheets of paper each of which is of a length of the product; a conveyance passage along which said successive separate layered sheets are conveyed to travel; and a stacking and ejection part for causing said separate layered sheets traveling along said conveyance passage to be piled every predetermined number thereof and to be ejected in the form of piles of sheets thereof, each to form the booklet-like product, wherein said superposing part is provided with: a paste nozzle for applying paste to an area of one of adjacent such continuous webs of paper on its one side which becomes inside when they are mutually opposed to form said layered continuous sheet and a further paste nozzle for applying paste to areas of the upper surface of said layered continuous sheet, said further paste nozzle being adapted to selectively skip applying paste to those portions of said upper surface each of which is to become the upper surface of said separate layered sheets uppermost in each of said piles of sheets.
