The system in- cludes a plurality of feeders (10) for delivering signa- tures (30) to a conveyor (12) so as to progressively build up books of signatures (2930 The apparatus further in- cludes a signature printing station (16) located down- stream of the feeder means (10) and adjacent plate-like members (48) for printing substantially simultaneously on two or more pages (31, 33), such as a cover (33), and an inside page (31), of a book of signatures (29). The method of the present invention includes the steps of delivering the signatures (30) onto a moving con- veyor (12) from a plurality of feeders (10) and conveying i the signatures (30) in a downstream direction so as to progressively build up books of signatures (29). The method further includes the steps of selecting a signature (30) from one of the feeders (10), opening each book of signatures at the selected signature (30), and substan- tially simultaneously printing information on two or more pages (31, 33), such as a cover page 33 and an inside page (31), of a book of signatures (29).
