A binder comprising:
- a. a cover with
- i. substantially equal front and back segments sized to cover desired portions of a plurality of pages having edges to be secured, and
- ii. at least one fold segment defining a central spine and at least a pair of spaced scores that are parallel to said central spine fold defining substantially parallel fold subsegments which may bend and fold the from and back segments about and around the plurality of papers,
- b. a pair of parallel adhesive strips each attached to a side of the cover proximate to and alongside the fold subsegments, and

A binder kit comprising:
- a. a cover with
- i. interior and exterior front and back segments large enough to cover desired portions of a plurality of pages with edges, and
- ii. at least a pair of interior and exterior fold segments each defining a plurality of parallel scores which provide substantially parallel fold subsegments which allow fold subsegments to bend and fold to secure about and around the edges of the plurality of papers placed therebetween, and
- b. at least a pair of parallel two sided adhesive strips each of a length approximately the same as the fold segment, and
- c. at least a pair of sets of removable adhesive strip covers each said set for covering both sides of each said adhesive strip until required for fastening use, at which time said cover strips are removed to expose the adhesive strips to secure fold subsegments of the cover together about the edges of the plurality of papers.
