"Full" Reback (Spine Repair)
UPDATED 8/9/2016: See this video with narration here: • A Step-by-Step Guide t...
This kind of repair is used when the spine if off/loose and the hinges attaching the boards to the textblock are weakened or detached.
This repair makes use of a library binding type of bookcloth, spine stiffener is 10 point folder stock that is adheared to the boards, spine lining is a starch-filled "hinge cloth," cotton muslin or similar. Adhesive is PVA.
Not appropriate for special collections / rare items.

I've been binge watching book repair videos to fix a Volume from The Liturgy of the Hours. I first watched one to learn how to sew signatures back together. So the blue stuff is buckram, the tan stuff is a stiff paper, and the white stuff is also what I call buckram. I just need to find the blue stuff in black cause the book cover is black. This is the best video for where I'm at. Thank you! Edit: Note to self: do it this way if the covers are off.
i found this very helpful (even without narration.) Thank you for showing the professional side of repair. I appreciate your time.
There's something about watching book repair videos that's very relaxing to me.
This is the best asmr video ever 😂
I like this video.. very informative.. and quiet.. like reading a book.. I hate those instructional videos with a lot of talking or annoying music
Thank you sharing this book repair knowledge. Every library should have someone that can do this.
Fascinating! Especially once I got over the initial heart attack at the thought of taking a knife to a book. But what a beautiful job! Now I'll have to watch all the rest of these videos. I have books that need some work. But I think I'll save the most important ones for the pros.

"Especially once I got over the initial heart attack at the thought of taking a knife to a book." I know, right?
I just needed to repair 2 books and have watched many videos. This is one of the top!
I appreciate your art and how easy you render it...hats off to you..greetings from Mauritius.
Very clean ! Very meticulous !very intriguing 😃awesome tutorial 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello greetings from london UK thank you very much for a great video
This is fantastic! Helped me repair my River Song TARDIS journal, which had a detached cover. I improvised a few steps, including using rubber cement as a binder (applying to two sides, allowing to dry, then binding), and using two of the books own pages bonded together to create the wings to attach to the cover :)

I made one of those for a good friend of mine :D rubber cement isn't really a good binder tho as it's acidic and you probably could've picked up really cute time or map cardstock from joanns or michaels for the wings... (the wings she made in this video were insanely small for the book, so i do not advise that at all. the reason she did it was because of the bits on the covers, normally the wings are bigger!)

Very interesting procedure, would be nice to hear some words to go along with what is being done.
This is so wonderful. I have always wanted to watch and learn these skills. I have a nice little home library going and cover all the book jacked books I buy from eBay immediately with clear polyester from a roll. I cover the covers! 😂 I have bought glue, some archival tape and spine mending tapes, but so far have made a mess of everything I've tried to repair because I have no idea what I'm doing. I have a bone spreader and brushes but the larger equipment she uses is quite expensive and will have to wait.

23.51 the book did not look like it was fixed to the rear cover. i did get lost at a couple of points it seemed to me that a couple pf stages were missing but that could just be me as i am a beginner.
Ok but what if the spine is detached from both cover Story?
I need to do this for a paperback 😔
this is just a modern book. Much quicker and cheaper to re-endpaper, callico, and make a new case and stamp it. Recase it. About 15minutes of work or less in a modern decent bindery
Camera man givin me motion sickness 😂
Gorgeous your work. Congratulations! What materials are these that you reconstitute the spine? I'm a restoration technician here in Salvador. There's still a lot I can not do, and I do not know the names either. Thanks if you can help me. Lindo o seu trabalho. Parabéns! Que materiais são esses que vc reconstitui a lombada? Sou técnico de restauro aqui em Salvador. Ainda tem muita coisa que eu não fazer, e também não sei os nomes. Obrigado se puder me ajudar.

Nivaldo Macale Watch Sage Reynolds book binding videos. They are excellent and give more information. The cloth used on the spine is usually called mull. It's a starched, loosely woven material, like a hard medical gauze.
Hi, can you tell me the Glauce you used? Thanks!
1. Beautiful job. 2. I want that self-healing mat. 3. I wish you could use Smart Balance spread as it's easier to find than the glue used to do this job. 19:36

Unless you're a professional and require specific formulations to achieve certain thickness/open time/tackiness goals, Elmer's is also a PVA glue and produces fine results for the casual hobbyist. Ever try the toughness of dried Elmer's?
What type of tape and papers are being used?
Thats one aggressive rebind. Would of just glued the cover back to the book block.
Hi what material are you using that is blue that you are using to cover the spine ?
Librarian: dont tear the spine of the book! Also the librarian: 1:16
The wide blue tape or fabric that was glued to the boards... what was that?

Don't really like old glue being left on the spine.
Nice work, but it would of been MUCH better with audio remarks.

It is called Cambric Cloth. it is very similar to linen. Go to a fabric store and purchase linen.
Such a long process
The replacement spine should have gone under the cover material for a real professional job. The shoulder gutters shoulders have been accentuated using a nipping press and rods. Attachment of the text block in the case left a lot to be desired. This is not rocket science if you have all the fancy supplies and materials available, especially the tools (did you see that guillotine). Nice nails and wrist bling though.
23:51 did you see it?

What you're looking at is a workmanlike repair and nothing more. The reinforced hinge holding the book block in the case would normally be hidden under a folded sheet tipped to the existing fly leaf. Then, the new outermost flyleaf, called the paste down, is attached to the inner face of the hinge and to the boards. To properly disguise the repair, the old paste down is first removed -- and that tell-tale gap disappears. Given the realities of modern libraries, it's a pretty time-consuming processes.

Why do you say it is not appropriate for special collections or rare items? Is this a temporary repair that eventually leaves the book worse off, or does it just diminish the esthetics?

It is not a sympathetic repair, and there is no use of conservation grade materials. PVA off-gases acetic acid and destroys paper over time - you'd never use this on special collections or rare books.

Tenhle postup je podle mne zbytečně komplikovanej a ta paní nevyužije toho, že blok je venku k doplnění tkanic, nebo motouzu, který by vytvořil zpevnění celé knihy. Vznikne ta samá nedokonalost co byla před tím a časem blok zase vypadne. Škoda práce.
With all respect, I liked the work too much, but the the old stamped back must not be re backed, it will be very good to hot foil stamp on the new book back, or doing something like that, cause it is beautiful if let alone..

this sadistic book murder. i could not watch. o mother of god protect us.
I hope you will never use this method for a restoration!
Yup, the paper scratched and the tools scraped. This video is useless without useful sound effects explaining what and why. The video is out of focus while the action is off camera, too. Very little of value here. 😂
Lots and lots of errors made here. I appreciate the time you took making the video but that is not how to reback a book.
