"Full" Reback (Spine Repair) 

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.

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.

This is the best asmr video ever 😂

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 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 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.

No words spoken but volumes said. Excellent video. Oh, and pretty hands. 🤗

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

ASMR is the Future!!

A true artisan. I have an out of print paper back I want to repair. Maybe turn it into a hardback.

Very clean ! Very meticulous !very intriguing 😃awesome tutorial 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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.

Hello greetings from london UK thank you very much for a great video

Relaxing af

The wide blue tape or fabric that was glued to the boards... what was that?

She has beautiful and elegant hands!!

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 ?

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.

is it true the knives are kept semi blunt?

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.

Good

Excellent

Nice work, but it would of been MUCH better with audio remarks.

Gracias 🙂 saludos y permiso por descargar

Hi, can you tell me the Glauce you used? Thanks!

Camera man givin me motion sickness 😂

I need to do this for a paperback 😔

Ok but what if the spine is detached from both cover Story?

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

nice and instructive

Great video!!!!

שאלה האם זה מקצוע או תחביב תודה

What type of tape and papers are being used?

Don't really like old glue being left on the spine.

Librarian: dont tear the spine of the book! Also the librarian: 1:16

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?

good video

Thank you for this video. Where do you get the dark blue roll of backing that looks like cloth? Please?

23:51 did you see it?

Such a long process

That's the biggest knife I've ever seen!!!

How come no talking??

Anyone know what kind of glue is being used here?

That's the largest paper cutter in the world!!!!!!!

What is name of used material at 7:40 moment?

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 is almost psychotic in its silence.

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.

u should be explaining what ur doing and the tools

OOPS!

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. 😂

I hope you will never use this method for a restoration!

Best shit ever

this sadistic book murder. i could not watch. o mother of god protect us.

Amateur work, must be an inexpensive book.

Please don't send your treasured books here.
