RE-SIDING
Many books which have been rebound with leather backs come to the binding department with the cloth sides badly frayed at the corners or edges. If the sewing is good and the book is clean, it is worth while to put on new sides.
1. Remove cloth sides and smooth off the inside of the board with a dull knife.
2. Cut two pieces of cloth a little larger than the sides.
3. Glue the inner surface of the cloth and place on the book, turning in the corners as described in 15 on page 187.
4. Put book in the press.
5. After book is dry, paste a single end paper over the inside of each cover.
