resewing
The process of removing a text block from its case
or covers, removing the spine lining (if any), old
adhesive, as well as the original sewing thread,
and then resewing the sections. In conservation
bookbinding, "resewing" usually implies the same
method of sewing as the original; in library
binding, however, the term generally implies the
substitution ofOVERSEWING for
edition sewing. (130 )
