Description
When a hardback book loses its spine, replacement may be a cost-effective way to extend its usable life. Join book repair expert Rebecca Elder for a demonstration of one of the most common book repairs: replacing the spine on a cloth-bound hardback book. Rebecca will demonstrate a practical repair technique, discuss when it is appropriate for use, review the necessary materials and tools, and share quality control tips. An alternative repair approach will also be covered for situations in which spine replacement is not possible.
Learning Objectives
- Understand when spine replacement is appropriate
- Purchase appropriate repair materials
- Complete a spine replacement
- Use of adhesive "wings" as an alternative when spine replacement is not appropriate.
