4. If the book has not been overcast, it will be necessary to add end papers. This can be done by using two sheets which when folded once will be the size of the leaves of the book. One of these should be a 60-pound and the other an 80-pound manila paper, both guarded entirely around the fold with jaconet. Whipstitch the 60-pound fly-leaves to the first and last sections of the book, then whipstitch the 80-pound, being careful to pass the needle back through the first section. Paste one of the fly-leaves and one of the end papers together.
If the book has been oversewed, cut the end papers of 80-pound manila or 60-pound kraft paper the size of the book and paste on the entire surface of the fly leaves which are integral parts of the book. It will not be necessary to guard these new end papers.
5. Trim the new fly leaves and end papers the exact size of the book.
6. Mark the boards and book with corresponding numbers so as to identify them.
7. Place boards on the book to within one-eighth of an inch of the back and mark the distance from the back.
8. Measure exactly the distance across the back between marks just made on the end papers.
9. Select the proper cloth with which to cover the book. Place the boards on the cloth, allowing the width necessary for the back as measured in No. 8.
10. Mark around boards on cloth.
11. Cut cloth, allowing approximately an inch and a quarter all around outside edge of the boards.
12. Glue the entire surface of the cloth.
