| Book in hand: a nearly repaired "For Whom the Bell Tolls". The spine building process was much more exciting, but would have been tricky to capture, as it was all scalpels and glue. |
 | ||
| See? Brand new spine and almost ready for some reading action. I think the edge of the original binding is still a little ragged (it kept unraveling with each cut), but it's not bad for my first attempt. |
 |
| What's this? Hell's bells! |
 |
| And some lout stuck it with Scotch tape! |
 |
| Filmoplast's the awkwardly-named way to go. |
 |
| All better! (Though with stains from the old tape) Moral of the story: Kids, don't Scotch tape your library books, or the Preservationists will take you away to the land of dust and silverfish... |
