[BCMA] Book Repair

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi, everyone,

Does anyone have any advice on how to reattach the cover of a big family Bible? This one is about 5” wide and both front and back covers have come off, along with a few of the pages, and are both completely separated from the spine. The spine is completely separated from the book, and has a nearly complete tear across its width. The whole thing has been taped together with what looks like packing tape.

I’ve been looking at YouTube videos, but the ones I’ve found so far seem to assume the covers and spine are at least still attached to each other...

Thanks!
