With collecting older books, there’s always a book in need of a little repair to keep it in good shape for years of handling. I usually use transparent paper mending tape to repair page tears, but it’s also useful for reinforcing endpapers when they start to crack at the spine—so long as the spine is still intact. Filmoplast P is wider and more transparent, while Lineco Transparent Mending Tissue is easier to separate from its backing. Once burnished to the page, both options create a nearly invisible mend.
