Sewing the Text Block Back In Mending for a book where the cover is intact, but the end-sheets are broken or separated. Book Mending Index Bookcloth Supplies: Book Cloth (paper on one side, fabric on the other) PVA adhesive Flat tip paint brush Sharp 'exacto' blade Weight or covered block Masking strips Silicone release paper (it looks like--but works better than--wax paper) _______________ Let's get Started 1- Evaluate the separation. Is it completely pulled out, or is the crash still holding it in a little bit? 2- Fully separate the section of the text block from the side of the cover that you are going to repair. Use a sharp blade to cut the mesh. One-sided or both. This book has only the one side that will need a repair. 3- Make and tip-in a New Supporting Gutter Strip / Hinge (sorry, I sometimes will use my own labels. Someday I might have to look up--and remember--the real terminology) Measure a matching color of Bookcloth, crease and Cut Mask paper edge --run book glue along edge. Cloth side DOWN. Tip in. Do NOT slide the strip in, SET it down--stretching it a bit between your hands makes it a bit easier. If you slide it in, the glue smears. You want a clean tip-in. 4- Weight the text to prevent movement. Measure and mark out your drilling holes. We've done 7 here. 5- Drill holes at an angle, from top of text block into the spine. 6- Sew new gutter / support strip onto the text block, creating a stronger hinge in preparation for adding your cover back on. Using linen waxed thread, (go HERE to see how to lock your thread on the needle) Start in the center hold. Start on top, push through to spine-side. ...and back up through next hole --remember to keep your text block weighted. ' Zig Zag' up, then go back down the opposite way, all the to the end . . . back up to the center hole -- and knot. Trim thread, but leave a tail. 7- Create a strong and flexible hinge/gutter Crease the Support/Gutter Strip back on itself, open back up and run glue inside the creased portion Fold strip back up, glue and the thread tail and stitching are all folded up and inside--essentially invisible now. Burnish with a bone folder for a good crease. Fold strip back towards text block, cease and burnish. You have basically created an accordian-style hinge 8- Mask off and protect the rest of the book We've used release paper, then scrap paper on top, both under the bookcloth strip 9- Re-attach any loose paper on the cover Burnish mends with bone folder 10- Apply adhesive to bookcloth strip 11- Shut book on cloth strip, check alignment. Place book in a press, or weight until dry. Learn more book mending, go here: Book Mending Index ... a very special thanks to the The Harold B. Lee Library's Archival and Mending Department at BYI, the A. Dean Larsen Book Collecting Conference, and our instructor, Christina T.

This entry is part 12 of 12 in the series Introduction to BookbindingHeadbanding is the process of strengthening the head of a book. This is done by the sewing a cord onto the backbone behind the boards, which secures the signatures together more firmly. The result is a stronger binding construction, and even the backbone can be prevented from damage. A good video introduction into creating and sewing headbands can be found in this YouTube playlist. Well worth a watch before reading the rest of this tutorial. Enjoy! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get access to HD videos of hundreds of Book Binding tutorials and reviews! Piercing the Holes For a headbanding, the holes should be pierced close to the centers of the folded signatures as shown in figure 208. Mark up the holes on the edge of the signatures; align a square card against the thickness on the folded edge and sketch a line that is about half an inch shorter than the book height. Leave this space at the heads of the signature as shown in figure 209. In case, the kettlestitches are at this same position, you can shift the line slightly towards the edge. Figura 208 – Furos nos festos dos cadernos para coser o requife. Figura 209 – Marcação do posicionamento para a costura do requife. Figure 210 – Using a Piercing Awl to Pierce through Book Signatures into Piercing Card Figure 211 – Using Folded Guide Slips (card) to Pierce Every Signature Take a cardboard that measures 2 inches in breadth and 4 inches in length, and place it inside the centre of the first signature. Push the card completely against the fold and pierce an awl through the signature right up to the edge of the cardboard as shown in figure 210. Using this same process, pierce every other signature. When you would be done, your signatures should resemble the image shown in figure 211. Threading the Headband Thread two needles with different color threads for a more attractive appearance. Tie their free ends together into a knot. Now start sewing the headband at signature numbered 1. Pry open the signature slightly by inserting a folding needle into its centre as shown in figure 212. Use the cardboard strips to locate the centre of the signature. Pass a thread through the pierced hole from the outside such that the needle is angled towards the top edge of the book as shown in figure 213. Pick up this thread from the center of the signature and tie the outside tail into a knot. This is illustrated in figure 214. Place a cord across the head of the book and pass the thread around it and out from the same hole through which you inserted it. Figure 215 depicts this step. Pull the thread tight so that the cord is flattened and secured in place over the signature as illustrated in figure 216. Tie the loose end with the first knot so that the stitch does not become loose. Now loop the thread two more times onto the cord and secure it by passing the thread beneath the cord, and into the loops as shown. This is shown in figure 217 and 218. Tie the end once more to the initial knot as shown in figure 219. Do not cut the tread and let it hang loose. Figure 212 – Prying Open the Book Signatures Before Starting to Sew Headbands to Signatures Figure 213 – Sewing Thread through the First Signature to Create Headband Figure 214 – Tying a Different Colour Thread to First Thread to Make the Headband Figure 215 – Wrapping Thread Around the Cord to Form the Book Head-Band Figure 216 – Tying off the First Headband Wrap around the Cord Figure 217 – Repeating the Wrapping Around the Headband Cord and Tying Off Now take the other thread, and wind it around the cord two times a shown in figure 220. The green loops should be completely lined up with the white loops so that no portion of the cord shows through them. Let this thread hang down. Pick up the loose end of the first thread and pass it into the second hole as shown in figure 221. This time wind it around the cord three times as illustrated in figure 222, and once again, secure the loops by passing the thread beneath the cord and into the loops. Tie this thread at the same position where you passed it into the second signature as shown in figure 223. Pick up the loose strands of the colored thread and tie it to the thread you just worked with. Proceed in the same manner; keep winding the threads around the cord until it is completely covered as shown in figure 224. Tie both the loose ends at the other end into the knot to secure your work, and cut off the tails. Now view your work; if you were neat and followed the technique exactly like given, no part of the cord would be visible and the ends of the headband would be aligned with the hinges. Just like with other binding techniques, headbanding requires sufficient practice. Until you do this, you would never be able to achieve a neat appearance.

Anzio è una cittadina sul litorale romano, nota ai più per ragioni storiche e recentemente anche per essere finita sotto i riflettori della cronaca nera. L’importanza storica di Anzio parte da lontano: si tratta infatti della città natale dell’imperatore Nerone, che vi costruì una magnifica domus sul mare di cui possiamo ammirare i resti ancora

Oggi pomeriggio, alle 15:00 su Rai Uno, andrà in onda una nuova puntata di Passaggio a Nord Ovest, il programma ideato e condotto da Alberto Angela.Come si restaura un libro antico? È possibile recuperare e salvare interi volumi danneggiati da una alluvione o dallo straripamento di un fiume? Visiteremo l’Abbazia greca di San Nilo a Grottaferrata, vicino Roma, dove, nel 1931, fu installato il Laboratorio del Restauro del Libro antico, il primo a carattere scientifico in Italia.

Aniko Kolesnikova è un'artista creativa originaria della Lituania che su internet è diventata famosa come Mandarin Duck, una vera e propria identità digitale che corrisponde a un sito web, un canale Youtube seguitissimo e diversi profili sui social. Prima di iniziare a realizzare copertine di libri con l'argilla, Aniko lavorava in un'azienda di moda come disegnatrice, un impiego che lasciava grande spazio alla fantasia ma non alla creatività che più piaceva alla Kolesnikova. Decisa a diventare un'artista "da copertina", Aniko ha aperto diversi profili social e ha iniziato a realizzare splendide prime pagine dei libri con soggetti da fiaba come volpi, elefanti, draghi o gufi, che hanno riscosso un successo crescente nel corso degli anni. La Kolesnikova si è trasferita a Londra fondando quello che potrebbe esser definito un vero e proprio movimento artistico, con numerose persone che oggi tentano di esprimere la propria creatività tramite la modellazione dell'argilla sulle copertine dei libri. Oltre alle copertine di libri l'artista vende le proprie creazioni anche per le cover del Kindle, il famoso ebook reader di Amazon. Per conoscere i prezzi di queste opere o per ordinarne una su misura questo il suo sito con la tabella dei costi in base alle dimensioni del libro.
