(54)	Method for making books from a pack of signatures sewn together

(57) A method for making books from a pack (3) of signatures (4) sewn together, with the sewing thread (f) interrupted after each group (5) of signatures (4) that make up a book, includes the step of applying to each group (5) of signatures (4) at least one length (13) of adhesive tape embracing the signatures (4) of the group (5). The method achieves the advantage of ensuring that the last signature (4) of the group (5) cannot be lost, that is to say the advantage of ensuring the integrity and tightness of the complete group (5) containing all its signatures (4), in an unusually simple and reliable manner.
