About this product

Product Information

One of a kind * Everything in one * Do-it-yourself Every booklover knows the feeling when a favorite book is damaged: by water, a ripped dust jacket, a loose page.

This elegant do-it-yourself kit containing manual and mending materials provides the solution. *        mending tears *        reattaching loose pages *        flattening wrinkles or folds *        drying water damage *        reinforcing covers *        repairing dust jackets *        repairing book corners *        tightening books in their cases *        fixing loose labels and bookplates *        reattaching paperback covers *        cleaning and care *        resources --        --        --        --        -- --        Kit includes: *        The Book Repair Manual -- written by experts on the preservation of books and illustrated with photographs and drawings -- provides step-by-step instructions for more than 20 repair projects and includes anecdotes about book collecting and book lovers. The Manual is handsomely designed and bound in hardcover. *        25 repair items (many in multiples), run the gamut from neutral pH adhesive, a bamboo brush, transparent mending tape, a stainless steel microspatula, and mat board to cotton gloves and bristol board. The mending materials are of the highest archival quality, and the only materials not supplied are common household items such as paper towels and scissors. These tools and materials are not only difficult to find, but would cost well over $100 if purchased individually. *        A source list for materials.

Perfect transaction and Perfect seller! What a beautiful foldable knitting basket. I am just so happy with it. The colors match my decor so well. This item was securely and professionally boxed for shipping with extra padding to assure the wooden legs did not break during shipping. My questions were answered immediately too. I can't say enough great things about this seller. An asset to Ebay. THANKS A+++++

  • Indespensible for the lover of books. Priceless!

    Books are rare and special, and cherished. They sometimes have problems. This Repair Kit is amazingly complete. If you have a good book with a tear, loose page, dirt, etc., you can use this kit to repair it. This is for books you want to handle and read, and it works. If you have a rare, 18th century leather bound book, that needs repair, you should send it to a restoration bookbinder. But for modern books, or non-rare books, this kit is highly recommended. (No I do not get a commission for writing this.)

  • Wonderfull product
