Before I switched to Lemmy, I noticed a lot of questions on Reddit about repairing books. So, I thought I'd create a list of repair guides that, to my knowledge, follow best practices; and pin it for anyone who needs it. Please note, if a book is particularly valuable or has historical significance, you should take it to a professional. Also, if your library book is damaged, you can return it as-is and the library will handle the repair. In either case, wet books should be frozen. That said, here's how to repair: Loose hinges: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpUU4dwPzWA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhyO8ptZAgI Cracked hinge: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK9Aqqns56E Detatched hinge: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w3BayjJ1rU Detatched text block (recase): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6eH8eb6daw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm4Zt9Yh5xA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z4sIj6go5U Warped hard cover: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn-13BopXq4 Spine replacement: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAaig_rKS5g - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNWHhuSnk5Y - https://youtu.be/FeuG264vGiQ Torn paper: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBwT97IztS8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0d-VvDcg_M - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWBwOYRCHdE Torn out piece of a page: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwTNVsi_HBg Loose page: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvTK8tUCcmA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Sq2jflWHM Harcover corner repair: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWL-swOol-8 Wet book: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9_fwmdCyzo - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA2CAC9141448B159 Mold: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_KdBP_fM4Q Warped paperback spine: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgLRFsGHzkg Detatched paperback case: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWR2JmsbMm0 More damage than that?

I don't know that they require talking, but they want to. I think it maintains an emotional connection that ND's may find uncomfortable.

If you're interested in learning to bind books, the best place to start (IMO) would be YouTube tutorials! Here's who I would recommend: [DAS Bookbinding](https://dasbookbinding.com/2019/12/14/youtube-channel/) has a lot of great info and projects, a lot of which are historical bindings. [Here's his playlist for getting started](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZbEml0uyM4v_DC1guJDcHkbUTEiQaMDr), and [here's his playlist for a rounded & backed cased book](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZbEml0uyM4sOAMAh4uvzo2XFVj0eiu1R). [Sea Lemon](https://www.youtube.com/@SeaLemonDIY) is another popular YouTuber, and her bookbindings are a bit more casual. [Here's her playlist on methods & stitches](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2F704E01F80BA1E9), and [here's her playlist on supplies & tips.](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL179BD249EB2CF650) Good luck!
