Hey #Bookstodon folks, I have a #BookRepair question.
A group of pages (leaf? fascicle?) has come loose in this little book. What's the best way to repair this?

Lay wax paper down on the pages to protect the book. Take a small paintbrush. Dip it in water and then in Elmer's glue. Paint along the edge of the section that has come loose and then another line on the book where the two should go together. Put the section back where it goes. With the wax paper still against the pages, carefully close the book, making sure that the glued in section lines up with the edge of the book. Put a heavy thing on the now closed book. Let dry for a day.

Or if you don't want to do it yourself, contact a book binder. As you're in San Francisco: contact this org: https://www.sfcb.org/
