Abstract
A gauge and alignment device is provided for applying a hard cover to a bound sheaf of paper. The device serves both as a gauge to determine the proper size of cover to use for a given volume as well as an arcuate alignment device so that the material to be bound can be applied squarely in the center of the cover.
