In German available only
Design your own books and repair old favorites
Thread stitching is not just a classic handicraft technique, it is also the bookbinding technique that continues to delight young and old alike and inspire people to bind their own books. Whether it's a songbook, diary, poetry album or a novel you've written yourself, binding your own book is as exciting as it is entertaining.
The book Binding and Repairing Books describes the necessary tools for bookbinding and shows each of the necessary techniques step by step in words and pictures. The gluing of pads and books with lumbar pads is also taken into account. Additionally, it includes a chapter detailing how to repair and restore damaged books.
What book lover doesn't dream of designing their own books or giving old favorites a new shine? Whether it's a notebook or a novel, creative expert Klaus-Peter Lührs explains how it's done in well-founded steps!
Anyone who owns and loves books also has books that have been used so often over time that they no longer look brand new. The cover is damaged, pages are creased or torn out, the spine is broken or it doesn't show particularly nice signs of wear...
And because a book is a valuable object, sometimes also a very valuable memento or antique, it should go without saying that it should be restored to a proper, usable condition. All this is possible, the only question is "how". Should the book be conserved, repaired or restored? Since each of these requires different amounts of time and money, this decision must be made first.
For a book that is not so valuable, conservation is recommended. It is optically revised, i.e. cleaned and checked for errors. This also includes gluing in torn-out pages, ironing out creases, etc.
A repair is useful if, for example, the spine of the book is damaged and there is a risk that the book will fall apart. It might make sense to renew the book cover as well. This would improve the stability and thus the cohesion of the book as a whole.
A book restoration is best not only for optical improvement, but also for practical use. With a restoration, the original condition of the book is restored to the way it once was. There is an important principle for this: the book is repaired as far as possible with the same materials from which it is made, i.e. with paper, cardboard, glue, gauze ...
The findings of the past few decades have resulted in an application ritual that takes something very important into account: such a restoration is carried out in such a way that it can be repeated at any time, i.e. it can be carried out again. For this reason, the book is first dismantled into its original components and then reassembled using this method.
For this manual work you need some tools and aids, most of which are already in your household.
