Abstract
A tape binding apparatus for applying decorative tape to a previously stapled booklet is disclosed as having a pair of binding surfaces upon which a piece of tape is placed after being drawn from a tape dispenser attached to one end of the apparatus. A manually operable device drives one of the surfaces toward the other surface when the bound edge of the booklet is applied to the surfaces. A pivotal guide mechanism is arranged to guide the booklet to the surfaces.
