Abstract
A sheet binding method according to an embodiment includes holding a sheet bundle in a state where multiple sheets forming the sheet bundle are shifted relative to each other at an edge portion of the sheet bundle. A pressing region of the edge portion is pressed, in a sheet bundle thickness direction, so that there is substantially no slack along the edge portion. While the sheet bundle is pressed, tape is applied to an edge portion of a sheet bundle at a tape attachment region of the edge portion different from the pressing region.
