APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF REPAIRING BOOKS

摘要

An apparatus and method of repairing books. The apparatus comprises a kit which includes an end paper (1) having an obverse face (2). A transverse spine (6) extends from the obverse face (2) of the end paper (1) and each face (7, 8) of the spine is coated with an adhesive (9). A transverse line of adhesive is also placed on the obverse face (2) adjacent the junction of the spine (6) with the obverse face (2) to form a tip end (12). At least part of the obverse face (2) on the side of the spine (6) opposite the tip end (12) is coated with an adhesive (14) and in a highly preferred form the adhesive is protected by a release sheet which may be in the form of contiguous strips (15a, 15b).
