Hi Susanne,
We use Kapco® Easy Bind® 1-Mil Matte Polyester Repair Tape on all of our
paperbacks, inside the front and back covers, before we add the books to the
collection. It can easily be used to repair books that are already losing their
pages. Our teachers come to us when their classroom copies begin to fall apart!

Subject: [baisl] repairing paperback books
Can anyone recommend a thermal binding machine to repair soft cover books? I
have looked online at the ThermoBind TB500 and it seems like it might work. I
want to save books where the pages have come loose from the cover.
