Re: Target:Elementary: Mending Books???

Interesting that this should come up now--I just mended two books today
for
the first itme in a longtime. I am generally in favor of mending if a
minor
repair will  really put  the book back into serviceable ( and reasonably
sturdy condition. It depends on how  the book was originally bound, too.
When I was interning back in the early 90's, my cooperating librarina lent
me a video from one of the mending supply companies, and then together we
mended a stack of books that had been waiting.  Worked fine!  I do think
one needs direction, though, and I know such mundane things do not appear
in
any MLS curriculum--gotta' catch a workshop or something.  But if someone
out there knows of the video, I'd love to buy it.
