Re-sew and Repair a Pamphlet/Chapbook

Pamphlets or Chapbooks consist of one gathering of several pages folded just once and attached through the middle fold somehow, sometimes with staples and sometimes with sewing.  To repair this pamphlet we replace the rusty staples with thread and create a new spine for the paper cover.
