| ♥ 0 | I’ve got a crooked text block. It leans and seems to do it pretty strongly. I’m sure it has a “real” name so I could do a search for it but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. If you all have any tips I’d be grateful. Thanks! Attachments: Marked as spam |
Posted by | Private answer Hmmm, well since Sophia has not had an opportunity to respond yet, I will offer up some thoughts along with caveats regarding credibility. I am a follower of this site, self taught (or at least Sophia taught) and find much of my focus is repairing children's books as a volunteer activity. I have 6+ years experience and much to learn. That said, consider looking for “skewed” or “slanted” spines. Starting here, with course 2-205 addressing your topic. It is difficult to see from the attached photo if indeed the book is intact, meaning still in the case. If it is, the 2-205 course takes a fairly extensive approach that will involve some patience or previous repair skills. If you are NOT experienced with book repair and looking for a “quick fix”, YouTube might be a path to consider. Another approach might be to consider topics in Reddit. Generally speaking I personally would get the text block out of the case, clean off the spine to exposed signatures, then reline the spine with glue/material that will hold the text block in the position you want....perhaps with benefit of a press or large pile of books....for a while. Good luck. Marked as spam  Posted by gaylenw48 (Questions: 38, Answers: 25)Answered on November 2, 2022 7:16 pm |
