three and one half times the width method
A technique used in applying a second (paper)
lining to the spine of a book. A heavy piece of
paper three and one-half times the width of the
rounded spine is cut and glued across the spine
from a line approximately 3/16 inch in from the
edge of the spine. The paper is then folded back
on itself and glued to the remaining 6 inch of the
cloth spine lining. Finally, the paper is folded
back and glued to itself. It is a somewhat poor
technique as it does not provide for a HOLLOW at the 3/16
inch area. (259 )
