BOOK MENDING
SOME SHORT CUTS AND
LABOR SAVING DEVICES
Copyright, 1938, by The H. R. Huntting Company
From observations we have made of book mend-
ing as done in Libraries it would appear that in
many instances there is much wastage of time and
labor.
In every manufacturing plant the aim is to elim-
inate waste motion and save the time of the oper-
ators. The term "mass production" is often ap-
plied to this process the doing of one thing
quickly and effectively by one operator. In our
own Bindery we have twenty-eight distinct oper-
ations in rebinding old or new books. In doing one
particular operation over and over again, a worker
becomes quick and skillful.
In rebinding a book the first thing we do is to
collate it carefully, putting in small slips to mark
torn leaves. The book is then passed on to another
operator who mends these torn leaves and prepares
the book for the sewing department.
The repairing operator does not place the paste
on each separate slip of mending paper. Instead,
the paste is spread over the surface of a zinc or
glass plate. Strips of Japan tissue or onion skin
bond are laid down over this pasted surface, a
sheet of newspaper is placed over the whole and
lightly rubbed down, then removed; this ensures
an even, thin coating of paste on each of the strips
and at the same time clears off all excess paste
from the plate.

BOOK MENDING
With a sharp square-pointed knife the operator
cuts a small piece off a strip, just the size needed
to cover the tear, places this in position on the leaf,
thus making the repair quickly and skillfully.
Much time may also be saved by using this
method of handling paste in the pasting-in of labels
and slips. When it is required to paste only the
edges of slips, a few of the slips are arranged on the
plate, one above the other, exposing only the mar-
gins to be pasted and the paste applied.
BOOK MENDING
WHEN AND WHERE TO USE
JAPAN TISSUE AND ONION SKIN BOND
3
For slight tears Japan tissue may be used; it
makes for neater work than does onion skin bond.
For larger tears onion skin bond is better, it is strong-
er and also slightly more economical.
For large Libraries that have a great many books
to prepare for circulation, we would recommend a
small labeling machine. We use one of these
machines in our shipping room and find it a great
time-saver; it is probably five times faster than
brushing individual slips and twice as fast as the
plate method. The cost of this machine is $35.
Where a Library has several thousand books in
which labels are to be pasted it will easily save the
initial cost, besides securing better, neater work.
One large Library to whom we recommended this
machine now operates two or three of them.
MENDING BOOKS
As a general thing, we believe too much mending
is done on library books; yet the old adage "a
stitch in time, etc.," can be just as truly applied to
books as to clothes. Slight tears on leaves should
be mended as soon as discovered.
If a leaf or an illustration becomes detached it
should be at once tipped in skillfully with paste.
Gummed cloth or paper should not be used
for the purpose of attaching leaves as it injures the
book for future rebinding. Should the book break
at the hinge, a strip of very thin muslin or cambric

4
BOOK MENDING
may be used to repair the hinge without hurting
the book for rebinding. We furnish special cam-
bric strips for this purpose; these are cut in the.
correct width and so save the operator's time.
REBACKING OR RECASING BOOKS
We believe that any book of lasting value, as
soon as the binding becomes worn or broken, or
pages have loosened, should be withdrawn from
circulation and sent to the Bindery at once to be
rebound in permanent form. Rebacking or recas-
ing such books involves unnecessary expense, and
also increases the cost of later rebinding.
However, there are certain books, mostly fiction,
for which there is considerable demand for a time,
ANE GREY

Pitcher

BOOK MENDING
that are not worth the expense of rebinding perma-
nently, as later, after the demand from the reading
public has ceased, they only take up shelf room.
Such books may be rebacked or recased in the
Mending Department of the Library at moderate
cost.
5
For that purpose we supply hinged end-sheets
and backs cut to the right size. The backs may be
of vellum cloth or thin fabrikoid. Our method is,
provided the sewing is still intact, to overcast the
first and last signatures, using a hinged end-sheet,
regluing the back and recasing in the old covers;
or, if the backs are too much worn, pasting or
gluing on new ones. (See illustrations.)
Attaching End-Sheets and Overcasting

BOOK MENDING
Also, sometimes a new back may be pasted on,
and a cambric hinge used to strengthen the book
without overcasting.
WHEN AND WHERE TO USE
PASTE AND GLUE
For mending or attaching hinges use paste only.
We supply a specially prepared paste, H R H
GLOOPASTE, which dries
quickly and adheres
tightly; we have used it in
our own Bindery for many
years and recommend it
for all general mending
purposes. It is inexpensive
and economical.
HR][]
GLOOPASTE
"It Sticks Tight
THE MOUNTING OF SPINEL MASS
In recasing or attaching
new backs HRH GLOO-
PASTE may be used but,
as a rule, hot glue will be
found to be better. For
hot glue a Library should use a glue pot; a small
electric glue pot can be purchased for $18.
Where the heating of glue is an inconvenience
we recommend HRH LIQUID COLD GLUE as
an excellent substitute. This is a creamy-white
vegetable preparation, has exceptional adhesive
qualities, may be used straight from the container
or can be diluted by adding warm water.
CLEANING SOILED PAGES AND
EDGES OF BOOKS
Soiled pages may be cleaned with a soft rubber,
preferably one that is not too friable; the HR H

BOOK MENDING
Art & Book Cleaner has all the necessary qualities.
For soiled edges use a strip of sandpaper stretched
over the rounded end of a wooden holder. Our
Book Edge Buffer is designed for this purpose and
will quickly remove all soil marks from edges.
The book should be gripped tightly in one hand
so that the dust will not fall between the leaves of
the book.

SHELLACKING OR VARNISHING COVERS
Inks used for marking call and shelf numbers on
the backs of books will wear off unless "fixed," and
for this a thin coat of shellac or other varnish is
usually applied with a brush. We recommend lac-
quering the entire back of the book rather than a

8
BOOK MENDING
square portion covering the numbers only; this
means a little more time and material but it will
save the cloth from rotting where the book is held
in the reader's hand. Acids and perspiration from
hands have a tendency to rot the covering mate-
rials; examinations of volumes sent us to be re-
bound have many times shown that the cloth was
not so much worn out by usage as it was rotted by
hand-perspiration. We believe, too, it is advisable
as a precautionary measure, and in the interest of
economy, to lacquer the entire book-cover.
Formerly, we used a good grade of white shellac
for this purpose, waxing the surface afterward to
prevent spotting by water; shellacked surfaces will
show spots where moisture may fall unless wax is
used, and there is no other
way of preventing this.
A great advance has been
made in the manufacture of
varnishes and lacquers since
the discovery of the use of a
cellulose base in making
lacquers. We now use ex-
clusively a lacquer specially
prepared for us. This HR H

spot and requires one applica-
tion only; it needs no after-

treatment with wax and is, therefore, more eco-
nomical than shellac besides lessening the labor
involved.
In our Bindery we use a spraying machine; this
not only saves us a great deal of time but does
BOOK MENDING
better work than can be effected with a brush.
The cost of such an outfit is considerable but quite
a number of the larger Libraries have installed one.
9
Some people object to the somewhat pungent
odor of lacquers; our HR H BOOK LACQUER
has been deodorized as far as is possible; however,
the odor is quite non-injurious to health, and
operators, in a short time, become accustomed to
it. The process of lacquering a book-cover not
only makes the cover wear so much longer but it
also renders it more sanitary.
One difficulty experienced in applying all shellacs
and lacquers is the brushing causes the stamp-
ing inks or gilding to "run." This may be obviated
by drawing the lacquer to the tip of the brush
(note shelf in H R H Shellacquer Jar for this pur-
pose) and lightly touching up the printed parts,
allowing this preliminary treatment to dry out, thus
setting the colors, then going over the entire cover.
All lacquers and shellacs are very volatile and
evaporation will take place, causing the prepara-
tion to thicken. For thinning shellac, alcohol is
used; either wood or denatured alcohol will serve
the purpose. But for thinning lacquer a special
thinner is needed; in other words the same mate-
rial used to cut the gum base should be used in
thinning. HRH Lacquer-Thinner has some of the
constituent properties of the lacquer itself, there-
fore its addition to lacquer that has evaporated
not only restores free flowing but replaces prop-
erties that have been lost. Alcohol is a dilutant
and weakens.

10
BOOK MENDING
BRUSHES
In lacquering books it is important to make use
of the right kind of brush. Do not try to use too
cheap a brush; a rubber-set brush with a flat
chisel edge, costing from 65 cents to $1.00 is more
economical in the end. We have three sizes ranging
from one inch to two inches in width; for the backs
of books the one-inch size is best; for the sides the
one and one-half inch or two-inch width will prove
more economical.
THE HRH SHELLACQUER JAR
costing $2.50 should be a part of every Library
equipment. It is designed
specially for library use
and is a great economizer
of both time and mate-
rial. It is substantially
made of earthenware
and is fitted inside with
a shelf for draining the
brush. Our brushes are
made the correct size for
this Jar so that they will
hang from the cross-bar
inside the cover, thus
avoiding the necessity of
cleaning the brush before
and after use and ensur-
ing the brush being always in good, workable con-
dition.
The Jar is not to be used as a storage tank; it
should contain just enough material to cover the
ends of the brush bristles.
DEFINITIONS OF LIBRARY BINDINGS
11
DEFINITIONS
OF LIBRARY BINDINGS
1. RE-ENFORCED BINDING
This consists of taking the book from the cov-
ers, completely regluing, using a strip of cotton
cloth or Canton flannel for the back (instead of
super), making a hinge, and putting the book back
in the original covers.
(The trouble with this binding is that with
the inferior grades of paper now being used,
the book may break in the center.)
2. RESEWED OR RECONSTRUCTED BINDING
This means taking the book entirely apart, com-
pletely resewing with a flexible overcasting stitch,
regluing with a very flexible glue, pasting a strip
of heavy cloth or Canton flannel on the back, mak-
ing a hinge, and putting the book back in the
original covers.
(This binding will outwear the publisher's
covers.)
3. BUCKRAM BINDING
(Stamped with the publisher's dies.)
The books are bought from the publishers in
sheets, folded and gathered. The sheets are com-
pletely sewed with a flexible overcasting stitch, and
are then bound in buckram covers, stamped with
the publisher's own dies.
The idea is to make an attractive library bind-
ing that will outwear its usefulness without rebind-
ing; if the books are bought in quantities the
buckram covers can be made and stamped at a cost
7.
12
.
DEFINITIONS OF LIBRARY BINDINGS
of only 10 cents above the cost for a Resewed or
Reconstructed book—that is, 45 cents.
(This we believe to be the most economical
type of library binding. We guarantee 90%
of the books which we advertise in our Library
Buckram Binding to outwear their usefulness.
4. PLAIN BUCKRAM BINDING
We are unable to buy quite as many books
as formerly in sheets, with buckram covers
stamped with the publishers' dies, because of the
curtailed budgets -and to offset this, we have
made the concession of completely rebinding a
book in Library Buckram at a charge of 55 cents
for an 8 inch book-larger sizes in proportion.
A book so bound will undoubtedly outwear its
usefulness and the cost is much less than that of
having the book rebound. It insures against the
loss of illustrations, signatures, pages, etc., and
also saves the cost of sending the book to the bind-
ery with the consequent loss of time and the addi-
tional expense of again preparing the book for the
shelves. A new book can be bound, especially in
quantities, cheaper than can a used book as there
is no cost for mending, patching torn leaves, etc.
(We use a better board than the publishers'
and the book is bound in all respects like our
rebinding. We are obliged to substitute this
binding where we cannot furnish the Buckram
binding with the publishers' stamped covers
as it is not always possible to secure sheets and
have the covers stamped with the publishers'
dies economically.)
