          Application No. 10/138,315                                                  
               paper; said glue being applied along only a single linear              
               path on said rectangular sheet of paper;                               
                    making a plurality of parallel folds in said                      
               rectangular sheet of paper to produce an intermediate item,            
               said plurality of parallel folds being made after said glue            
               is applied to said rectangular sheet of paper, and said                
               plurality of parallel folds being made when said rectangular           
               sheet of paper has glue along only a single linear path so             
               that only said single booklet is formed from said single               
               rectangular sheet of paper, said plurality of parallel folds           
               being made in a direction parallel to one of said pairs of             
               sides of said rectangular sheet of paper and said parallel             
               folds being made in a direction transverse to said single              
               linear path along which said glue was applied to said                  
               rectangular sheet of paper so that said intermediate item              
               has a first folded side coinciding with a first of said                
               plurality of folds and second folded side coinciding with a            
               second of said plurality of folds;                                     
                    after said plurality of parallel folds are made,                  
               trimming said intermediate item in a direction parallel to             
               said plurality of parallel folds to cause said first and               
               second of said plurality of parallel folds to be removed               
               from said intermediate item;                                           
                    after said plurality of parallel folds are made, making           
               a first transverse fold in said intermediate item, said                
               first transverse fold being made in a direction that is                
               parallel to said single linear path along which said glue              
               was applied to said rectangular sheet of paper, and said               
               first transverse fold being made along a line that generally           
               coincides with said single linear path along which said glue           
               was applied to said rectangular sheet of paper;                        
                    after said plurality of parallel folds are made, making           
               a second transverse fold in said intermediate item in a                
               direction parallel to said single linear path along which              
               said glue was applied to said rectangular sheet of paper;              
               and                                                                    
                    after said plurality of parallel folds are made, making           
               a third transverse fold in said intermediate item in a                 

                                          3
