Go Green and Repair Those Broken Books
I want to do my part to help the preserve the environment. I want the Earth to still be livable for my grand babies.
So, PLEASE Repair the Books on YOUR shelves. If at all possible, do not send them to a landfill. Be sure to watch the video The Story of Stuff which is linked to in this article. It will change your whole outlook on throwing stuff away.
HOPEFULLY, if you do decide to repair it, IT WON'T LOOK LIKE THE BOOK PICTURED HERE!. At least try to make it look good.
It is not always easy to make repairs the correct way. It is also hard to find the products to mend those broken tomes. Believe me, I have tried to find repair products in craft stores. My best sources have been found online.
Below you will find some "How To Videos", some supply sources, and other stuff.
If you decide not to repair the book yourself and want someone else to do it for you, send the book to me. I have started my own "cottage" business for book repair.
But by all means, extend the life of your everyday books!
