Reviews:
Very overpriced - minimal repair capability
I was informed before that you bought this equipment that some reviews
have put in argument the value of this equipment and the boy was
radrizza! I have bought the equipment to to remaindered the warehouse
of the book in order hardly to disopra the thirty dollars and to that
price I even think that it was not value for moneies enough. Evidently
it has a good selection of the repair refueling that would be
difficult to mount elsewhere; that but I think that I would have been
satisfied if it had been estimated to fifteen - twenty dollars; the
catalogue price around one hundred dollars is crazy and would have to
be pazzeschi to think that they were value for moneies. The equipment
is impaccato in observing very operated and expensive, but useless and
rather little practical, scato it. The book that accompanies the
equipment gives the instructions detailed on as to face some secondary
repairs - but it is secondary - mainly breaches to the pages and the
covers and the thorn leggermente damaged. IT IS READY AID; you cannot
rebind a book with this equipment and infuriatingly it expresses the
opinion on some repairs that demand the not-supplied materials
additional for which a shape of order it is included! If you can
obtain them to a price a lot reduced you can find them if you have
torn the pages or dustcovers, a flyleaf loosened, or damaged thorns
useful a po'. But, if as me you have an old book that has a cover
completely loosened and limited pages that are falling to part, you
have need of a bookbinder; this equipment will not make it.
worthless
You to one can only mount with this so-called equipment same fraction
of the cost (also to the price of the transaction-scantinato). We face
it, the tools supplied here are poor of the poor one, of the same
scissors, the glue and the needles that you would find to all the
warehouse 99C. As far as the instruction book, you would be much more
better outside of the purchase of the real volume on the repair of the
book from Amazon or one of the warehouse of that refueling of the
libraries (which Gaylord). Those sheets only the box cumbersome it in
if. I suppose that it observes more best than one shoebox on the
bookshelf. But you would be one foolish to pay therefore a lot that
one hardly. In short, for the same amount of moneies, why not buy same
you a new pleasant book preferibilmente?
Wow! I was looking for just this kit!
I got an issue of a German women's magazine Freundin and theyfeatured this Booklover's Repair Kit. I'd been looking all over for a proper set of materials to repair some old bindings. This is simply brilliant. It would take me many trips or orders by mail, phone or internet to assemble all these necessary items. Not only is everything you need in this kit, but you can also use it to make your own bookbindings (you need some kind of press, but that can be a piece of wood and some clamps, and a bone folder which can be found in craft stores that carry scrapbooking items.) If you like to scrapbook or do your own journal OR if you collect old books, this kit is a must.
Scarlett O'Hara['s book] was not beautiful...
At last someone has grasped the depth of personal sentiment attached not merely to content but to the medium, the books themselves, those volumes with their loose covers, cracked bindings and torn pages. Thank you, Ms. Ellis and Messrs. Wiggins and Lee.
As I have watched my niece graduate from Ramona and Harry Potter to Judy Blume, I have wondered how I could give her my adored but crumbling copy of Gone With The Wind, worrying about her rejecting it for its evident decay, or worse, the book's ability to withstand another reading. Now a talented trio has put together a kit which will allow butterfingered me to repair the novel before passing it on. The Booklover's Repair Kit doesn't just tell me how to do it, in straightforward terms with helpful diagrams. Much more in fact, since everything I may need to fix the book comes with it.
If you give a damn about the books on your shelf, you will want the Booklover's Repair Kit to join them with its handsome packaging and enough supplies to fix a dozen or so tattered books, be they Proust or Mitchell.
