LiveMusic Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I have a book "Words To Rhyme With" by Willard Espy and it's great but the pages are falling out. There is a whole section of about 20 pages that's loose. I kept taping pages as they would seperate but now, that won't work anymore. I wonder if I could glue these back in. This is paperback, about two inches thick, 650 pages. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live, Once the binding is gone on a book, I think it's pretty much toast. It's possible to have them rebound, but try finding someone to do it. It might make sense to get those little clear plasic sleaves that could fit into a 3-ring binder, and just put the pages from your book into the plastic sleaves.

Books should last longer than this. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's easy - contact your local library and ask them who they use for book rebinding and repairs... they have to have that done all the time and I can pretty much guarantee you that they'll be able to refer you to someone.

Philip OKeefe Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Oh, I forgot to mention it might be cheaper to just get a new copy, but it depends on the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Leites Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I did some Googleing, and found some answers. Here's a couple of them.
