Original Abstract Submitted

a booklet making apparatus includes a pressurizing member configured to oppose a first surface of a sheet bundle, a receiving member configured to oppose a second surface of the sheet bundle opposite to the first surface and nip the sheet bundle together with the pressurizing member, a moving portion configured to move the pressurizing member to a retracted position where the pressurizing member is retracted from the sheet bundle and a pressurizing position where the pressurizing member is in contact with the sheet bundle to pressurize the sheet bundle, a heating portion configured to heat the pressurizing member, and a sheet separation member configured to come into contact with the first surface of the sheet bundle and separate the sheet bundle from the pressurizing member in a process of the pressurizing member moving from the pressurizing position to the retracted position.
