SUMMARY:Advanced Book Repair: Hardcover Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Note:  This is an IN-PERSON workshop at the Eastern CT State 
 University Library\n\nWould you like to save money by getting more uses per 
 book? Have you already done all the easy repairs and have a shelf left over 
 of difficult broken spines on hardcover books? Do you have staff time to do 
 repair work\, rather than budget money to replace or rebind books? This 
 workshop is appropriate for a library staff member or volunteer who has 
 done basic book repair or taken a basic book repair workshop and is ready 
 to try some advanced repair techniques. Emphasis will be on spine repairs 
 for hardcover books\, where professional rebinding is not an option due to 
 brittle paper\, or lack of access to a bindery or the funds to pay for 
 rebinding. The purpose is on getting books back into circulation\, rather 
 than on archival or long-term preservation techniques\, although 
 conservation-friendly reversible repair techniques will be the focus.\n 
 \nTopics covered will include:\n\n\n	Hardcover book construction\n	Types of 
 hardcover spines\n	Materials needed for advanced book repair and where to 
 get them\n	How to repair a cracked or broken spine\n	How to make a new 
 spine\n	How to re-attach covers to hardbound books\n	Hollow-tube spine 
 repair method\n	Interior hinge repair\n\n\n**HANDS-ON: ONE BOOK WILL BE 
 PROVIDED TO EACH PARTICIPANT FOR PRACTICE REPAIRS – YOU MAY BRING 
 ADDITIONAL DISCARDED BOOKS TO WORK ON THAT ARE NOT VALUABLE (Hardcover 
 repair workshop books may not be suitable for returning to a library 
 collection – it takes some practice!) Some supplies will be available for 
 sharing. Optionally\, you may also bring your own book repair tools to work 
 with\, such as scissors\, box cutter or Xacto knife\, ruler\, bone folder\, 
 glue stick\, and/or glue brush.**
