This video walks you through the process of repairing a damaged paperback and rebinding it as a hardcover book. It is intended for complete beginners and shows you how to take the book apart, repair torn pages, re-glue it using the double fan method, insert cords into the spine, rebind it as a hardcover book, and reattach the original covers.

For more on a basic introduction to case binding, see my series below: • Case Binding
