This is purely my innovation. NB - Not endorsed by the ALA, the Bookbinders of America, The Catholic Book Publishing Co. and/or the makers of Shoe Goo.

Somewhat less than a year ago, I made a mental note to ask Emily to bring home her book repair supplies and fix the cover that is coming off of my Vol. 1 of the LOTH. Ooops. I forgot. The pages are still nicely bound, it is the cover that has totally come away from the book. So, though long past the point of a stitch in time, I decided to stop the damage in its tracks. Now what would be impervious to moisture, durable yet flexible and right here in my home? (It’s snowing beautifully, and I wish not to drive.) Eureka! Shoe Goo. It works. I don’t think it will do damage to the pages - at least the tube had no warning like DO NOT USE THIS TO GLUE A COVER TO A PRAYER BOOK. So it must be OK, right?

Note to Em: If this is going to permanently eat through the whole volume, please let me know so I can try to undo it or start saving for a replacement.
