  2. A method for reinserting loose pages (detached, replacement, inserts, etc.) into a bound book is called “tipping-in”.

  3. Assemble the following: adhesive (polyvinyl acetate) in a low container, wide strips of scrap paper, waxed paper, a bone folder, a glue brush, a pressing board or glass plate, and a weight.

  4. If the page being tipped in is larger than the pages of the book, cautiously trim the page to size using a paper cutter. (with replacements, attempt to conserve original margin widths.) Pack in the page, reverse side up, between 2 pieces of scrap paper, leaving 1/8” visible along the binding edge of the page. The top strip of scrap paper will shield the area that shouldn't be glued. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to the exposed 1/8” edge of the sheet.

  5. Carefully position the insert in place, setting it as far into the gutter as possible. Ensure that the edges are even with the rest of the text block

  6. With the tipped-in sheet squarely in place, and beginning in the center of the page and working out to the top and bottom, slide the tip of a bone folder along the front (unglued) side of the sheet to press it stiff.

  7. Place a sheet of waxed paper into the gutter between the insert and the page before it to protect the text block from excess adhesive.

  8. Close the book. Place a pressing board or glass plate along the spine edge and set a weight on top. Let stand for several hours.
