[PADG:2273] Re: sewn on endsheets?

[Jacob Nadal <jnadal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeanne - We sew on double endsheets with a cloth hinge as a matter 
of course here at IU. We've tried both sewn and glued, and started 
seeing some repeat business from volumes with glued endsheets. I've 
also seen some ugly damage in volumes where the outer leaves of the 
original text block remain with the new endsheets and the rest of the 
text block just carries away a few leaves in, leaving the book still in 
need of a recase, and with a torn title page or first signature to 
boot.
