  8. Flip over to printed side. Place book on center of taped sheets (which is now 1 big sheet). Fold 2-3” of top part down (using book as guide). Tape down part of flap to secure.
  9. Before repeating on bottom part, book needs to be flush to top flap.
  10. Open book. Make sure you have equal width of flaps on left and right side.
