Abstract

One of the most common types of damage to books is when the boards detach from the bookblock. Consequently, book binders and conservators have been creating ways to reattach boards for decades. This article will briefly examine some of these attachment methods and how they informed, but failed to address, some of the board reattachment problems commonly encountered. It then presents a reattachment treatment that requires minimal intervention to the original spine or board materials but still provides a secure means to attach the boards without compromising the integrity of the sewing structure and allows the volume to be fit for purpose. The treatment is efficient, safe and uses readily available equipment, making it ideal for conservators in private practice and those working with time and cost restraints. The article details step-by-step the novel technique that the author developed to address these issues.

摘要

书籍最常见的损坏类型之一是书板与书芯分离。因此，几十年来，书籍装订者和保护者一直在寻找重新连接纸板的方法。本文将简要研究其中一些连接方法以及它们如何通知但未能解决一些常见的电路板重新连接问题。然后，它提出了一种重新附着处理，需要对原始书脊或纸板材料进行最小程度的干预，但仍然提供了一种牢固的方法来附着纸板，而不损害缝合结构的完整性，并允许体积适合用途。该治疗高效、安全，并且使用现成的设备，非常适合私人诊所的修复人员以及时间和成本有限的人员。
