Book Repair on a Budget: Hardcover Corner Repair
Channel: UNCG Special Collections and University Archives
Date: 2018-04-18

As the covers of hardcover books get worn, the fore edge corners start fray and delaminate. This is a demonstration of how to repair the corners.

UPDATE: I am so sorry that I left out the name of the resources. The glue is polyvinyl acetate or PVA. White school glue, such as Elmer's, is PVA. Or, for a more archival version, search for neutral pH PVA. For a list of other book repair resources, see our Preservation Libguide: https://uncg.libguides.com/preservationservices/suppliesandtools
