How do you repair the inside of a book seam that's coming apart?

Question

My book is a prayer book, leather bound. it's come apart half way down the first couple of pages.

Answer 1

When one of my books came apart, I glued it with this glue called gorilla glue. It bonds things really well, but I had to let it sit over night because it takes a while to bond. If you need it right away try instant glue. If those don't work I don't know what to tell you except to get another one. Sorry.

Answer 2

If this is a hard-cover book with a sewn or glued page binding, I'd say just glob on some white glue. I work at a library and that's what we do to fix books when the spines start to separate.

Answer 3

There are some library supply companies that sell book repair products, glues, tapes, etc. made for book bindings. Try Googling: Brodart, Demco, Gaylord.
