The photo album is falling apart, the cookbook has stains, and a page in your child's favorite book is torn – but you want to preserve these mementos for future generations. Book restorer Kat Rücker-Weininger shows how to repair books yourself.
After an introduction to bookbinding techniques and equipment, a detailed practical section follows. Using a checklist, damage is analyzed and then gradually repaired. The spectrum ranges from removing small tears in paperbacks to closing defective hinges and replacing missing corners, to the complete restoration of a full leather binding.
If you want to repair your books yourself, just get started!
