Abstract

A publication including a plurality of pairs of pages, with the pair of pages comprised of a removable page and non-removable page. The removable page has a perforated edge, an adhesive edge opposite the perforated edge and a printable surface. The non-removable page has a printable surface. The pairs of pages are arranged such that alternate pages are removable and can be removed without harming the publication or the non-removable pages. The removable pages can be arranged to form an image larger than the publication itself and removable attached to a surface through the adhesive edge.

Claims (15)

1. A publication comprising:

a plurality of pairs of pages comprising:

a removable page having: a perforated edge, an adhesive on an adhesive surface of the removable page for adhering the removable page to a surface, the adhesive surface being opposite the perforated edge, and a printable surface;

a peel-off cover strip covering the adhesive surface; and

a non-removable, unperforated page having a printable surface;

wherein the plurality of pairs of pages are stacked within the publication such that alternate pages are the removable pages; and

wherein the non-removable, unperforated pages are narrower than the removable pages such that the peel-off cover strips are located beyond an end of the non-removable, unperforated pages.

2. The publication of claim 1 , wherein each pair of pages is formed by one sheet of folded paper.

3. The publication of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pairs of pages are bound together by sewing, gluing or stapling.

4. The publication of claim 1 , wherein when the removable pages are removed, the non-removable unperforated pages remain intact and undamaged.

5. The publication of claim 1 , wherein the printable surface of the removable page bears a partial image, such that when a plurality of the removable pages are placed together, the partial images create an image greater in size than the publication.

6. The publication of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a removable adhesive.

7. The publication of claim 1 , wherein the non-removable, unperforated pages provide a flip animation after the removable pages have been removed from the publication.

8. The publication of claim 1 , wherein the non-removable, unperforated pages have a width equal to a width of the removable pages minus a width of the peel-off cover strips.

9. The publication of claim 1 , wherein the non-removable, unperforated pages, being narrower than the removable pages, provide a shim to accommodate a thickness of the peel-off cover strips such that the non-removable, unperforated pages and the removable pages form a stack with a same thickness on all sides of the stack.
