                                                          Intermediate 
Book Repair Workshop

August 4, 2006

9:30 AM - 4:30 PM

Z. Smith Reynolds Library
Wake Forest University

Sponsored by the North Carolina Preservation Consortium


Books are often damaged by improper handling, poor storage conditions, 
book drops, vandalism, and normal wear and tear.  The manufacturing 
process is also a factor in deterioration.  Proper repair techniques can 
prolong the life of books and reduce replacement and rebinding costs. 
Improper procedures can do more harm, and may render books unusable.  This 
intermediate book repair workshop will build upon skills taught in the 
NCPC basic book repair workshop.  These treatments are intended for use on 
books in general collections, not rare books or special collections.  With 
hands-on instruction you will learn the following skills;

Recase a textblock in its original cover
Attach loose signatures
Alternative methods for end sheet replacements
Using protective enclosures and pamphlet bindings
Paperback reinforcement 

This workshop is designed for staff and volunteers who perform book repair 
for general collections in libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, 
and other heritage institutions.  Managers supervising book repair 
personnel may also benefit from this workshop.  Students in library, 
archives, museum, and conservation programs may attend as well. Attendance 
at a basic book repair workshop is required before registering for this 
workshop.

Library at Wake Forest University.  Mr. Fansler earned a BA in Art History
