wouldn't part with an old copy of
Grimm's Fairy Tales. which you re-
ceived on your birthday. for its weight
in stock certificates. All old school
books are sacred. and most of them
are coverIess and minus several pages,
but try this method of home book
binding which can be easily done by
any one.
Books retaining their covers. but
warped out of shape, may be improved
by placing them under heavy weights,
as they do in the screw presses in the
large binderies.
When the covers dangle by thread
and the cross stitching which pro-
vides uniform back is raveied. take
a fine needle with linen thread and
duplicate the stitches. There are
generally four or five horizontal rows
of such stitching to the average sized
book and when this is poorly done
the leaves falfSout in pairs In mos.
school books which are fairly well
bound one stitch secures from six
teen to thirty-two leaves. at intervals
of one or two inches.
In reminding book the back ends
of the rebound pages are first covered
with glue and then with narrow
strip OF crinolin or bookbinders'
sauze, which you can get at any book
store.
When this is dry coat of glue is
applied to the groove in the center OF
the cover, aud the back of the book
fitted on. Now carefully wipe away
any visible glue that may ooZe out
after the back has been firmly pressed
on. and then apply the weights.
When the book you wish to pre-
serve is without a cover you might
substitute that of some other book OF
less value or importance TO you.
II YOU cannot eliminate the print
ing ON the back or you find IL too
large. cut IL down to the proper shape
and carefully peel or the linen or pa
per without tearing the cardboard or
bookboard beneath Then buy
niece of plain book linen and cover
= yonrself by means of light appli-
cation of glue and follow by the heavy
weights.
You must look out for bulky edges,
weI bound book taken as q pat
.ern will help you. The ends over
tanning at the corners must be fold-,
ed over and pressed down firmly and
accurately Before the inside paper
lining is put on these edges must hrst
~ si,,ed down and allowed to dry.
.rEa fancy work leather used for
,ostcards and pillow tops is good and
po5el substitute for sim covers when
n , booksheIf is the home made
,.oriety: also in the line OF scrap
books and postal albums -,
no not stitch down the edges Win
,,,as sewing machine. for when the
useeIe is set too close the stitches
break through the paper.
When the home made leather cove

thoroughly stretched and pressed
