Introduction To Book Repair: Featuring- Book structure 101, Heat-set Tissue & Japanese Tissue

This book was written to share some of my 40 years of experience in the bookbinding industry. This book will help library directors, managers and staff to preserve some of their collections. Church members will be interested in repairing hymnbooks. Children can be taught this basic structure to help their understanding of bound books. Also, paper repair as a craft for young children can teach them the love and care of other valuable items. Those that are retired and need the convenience of working at home while earning an extra income would enjoy this book. The structure of a hard case bound library book is broken down to its smallest unit and rebuilt. The basic use of Japanese tissue is explored with applied application. The use of heat set tissue with the heat set tool is demonstrated. If you would use your imagination anybody can make money with these skills. Repair all of your books in the comfort of your home.
