Thanks to David Wilson-Okamura for the URL of the online book repair
manual.
As that e-mail came in, I have in front of me something new titled:
The Booklover's Repair Kit
First Aid for Home Libraries
By Estelle Ellis with Wilton Wiggins and Douglas Lee
It's a rather amazing thing, published by Alfred A. Knopf, that includes
a hardcover book illustrated by Tim Ely titled The Booklover's Repair
Manual, and all the tools and materials you need to do a wide variety of
book repairs at home. It's all in a well-designed box with a slide out
tray. If anyone is interested I can post the details of what's in it and
what repairs it does (I haven't read it yet-- it just arrived).
