The Process Of Book Restoration New Jersey

By Christopher Allen


Age catches up with everything and everyone at some point. Unfortunately, no amount of surgery can make up good as new again. Our favorite books, however, have the chance of becoming good as new again. You can do this yourself, or you might take it to a book restoration store. For those who would love to do it themselves, the process of book restoration new jersey is quite simple.

The first step is to take our manuscript and arrange it in the pages it is supposed to appear. Over time, this may become very difficult because it is hard to straighten out an old dog-eared page. It may take a while, but it will all be worth it because you do not need to pay any one for it. You can use a smooth piece of wood to straighten out all of the pages.

After you are done aligning the pages, place a wood slat on the first page and on the last page. This will help in holding the spine in place. The wood slats really come in handy during the drilling process. This is because you drill through them instead of directly on the paper. Drilling directly may cause the pages to appear puffy, and the holes may not be the required size.

After putting the slats in position, you should hold the volume in place using clamps. Make sure that the size of the clamp is proportional to the size of the book. The smallest thickness the clamp can hold may be a lot bigger than the thickness of the manuscript. Medium size clamps help to make the drilling process a lot easier. This is because the book is held in position.

Drilling is a very dangerous process. If you allow the drill to go through the spine of the book and on to the other slat clamp, you may end up drilling your fingers depending on the speed of the drill. To avoid this, you should not allow the drill to go all the way through the second wood slat. You may always find another method to allow the hole to be complete.

A drill press is more preferable compared to a hand help motor. Since you cannot drill all the way to the other side, you ought to drill a hole and skip some space. When you are done, on the other side, you must drill on the spaces which you skipped. As you move the clamp, ensure you do not move any papers to maintain alignment.

The sewing process requires a lot of concentration. You have to use very strong thread because the spine of the volume will be coming together. You will also need to move the clamps, but you should really be careful not to disarrange the pages and have all the hard work you put in to go down the drain.

The final part is the cover. The old one is a perfect fit. You only need to use new fabric which is the color and texture of your choosing. For the edges of the pages, you may use the gold spray to give it that new and attractive look.
