BOOK WITH IC TAG, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE BOOK WITH IC TAG

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology capable of avoiding a trouble of an IC tag caused by a shock given during delivery and on display after bookbinding even if the IC tag is attached to the spine of a book though it is inexpensive.SOLUTION: The book with the IC tag 10 includes: a text 14 obtained by collecting a plurality of quires and covered with a cover 12; the IC tag 16 including a wire antenna 30 formed by using a wire and an IC chip 32 connected to the wire antenna 30; and a housing 38 formed on the spine 22 located on an opposite side to an edge out of the text 14, recessed toward the edge corresponding to the external shape of the wire antenna 30 and the external shape of the IC chip 32, and housing the IC tag 16 therein. Since the wire antenna 30 is used, a manufacturing cost of the IC tag 16 can be drastically reduced, and since the wire antenna 30 and the IC chip 32 are housed in the housing 38, an external force is restrained from acting on the IC tag 16 and the deterioration of the performance of the IC tag 16 can be prevented.
