Rebinding a Book: Part One

So, a week ago, our library at Criswell was giving away some of their old dilapidated books for free. Among some of the books I picked up was Engaging the Powers by Walter Wink. After I took it home and started thumbing through it, the pages starting falling apart even worse. I tried just gluing what was visible but that did not work very well. So, I decided to just pull out the loose sections and try rebinding them in the book as one section. This is what it looked like after I got the sections together:

After this, I fitted the sections together and used that butter knife to spread blue over the back of the pages, to turn them into one solid section.

Check back tomorrow to see how it turned out!
