Don't throw them out-repair them! This practical manual shows you how to preserve
cloth-bound library books. Schechter gives detailed instructions for
the cleaning and mending of paper, book hinge repair, case and text-block
reattachment, cloth re-backing, and retitling. He describes procedures
chronologically and illustrates them with black-and-white photographs. Supply lists are provided with each procedure and a bibliography of supporting literature
is also included. These simple-to-learn steps are geared primarily to
non-valuable material and can be used as easily by nonprofessionals as
professionals. The book can be used as a repair manual in libraries or as a training tool. Read more at ....Basic Book Repair Methods.
