How i put my scrapbook back together i unsrewed it and now i have 2 screws and 2 halves or a scrapbook?
It sounds like you have a post album.... The smooth ended screw goes through from the front. Photo albums are almost always undone and accessed from the back. The smooth ended screw is the actual post on which all of the pages are placed. Step 1 The screw has to go through the thick cardboard or whatever the album is made of and is usually hidden by a flap inside the front cover. Step 2 Once you have that in place you start putting the pages on the screw, if they are completed pages make sure they are in the order you want them. Once all of your pages are inserted the screw has to go through the flap at the back of the book just like the one in the front did. Last Step Step 3 or 4 read next step before proceeding The last step is to screw the other piece on, it should have a slot in it so you can use a quarter or a flat head screw drive to tighten it down so it won't pop apart or work itself loose. I would recommend the quarter so you don't over tighten the screw. Step 3 if applicable... If you've added more pages than what the album came with very likely you'll need to use the extension posts. Those would go in the screw at the back before putting on the slotted screw piece. Now you will be able to add any additional pages. I hope I explained it clearly enough for you.
How can i put this book back together again?
hot glue might work. super glue definitely. binding glue if such a thing exists, otherwise, how do they make the book in the first place? don't try hot glue. that stuff comes off. i'd just run to the store and pick up a little tube of super glue. that guarantees that it will stay. although that'd be counterproductive. might as well pay the fine. it shan't be a lot! just go ahead and try the hot glue first. see if that works. if the book isn't destroyed when you're done then all is well. but that stuff does come off so the book will probably fall apart again when it's at the library. who will be the last one seen with the book? if someone checks it out and the book falls apart on them, they can't report seeing hot glue at the base...i'd just try for super glue..or send in an anonymous question about how much it would cost. had to have been an old book, maybe already a bit worn and broken for it to break just from dropping it. or else you dropped it super hard.
Is there a word for the inside back cover of a book and the page across from it (the pages that are holding the book together)?
Endpaper.That’s the sheet that has half glued to the inside of the bookcover, and half bound into the book’s interior pages.Since the same term is also used for the equivalent at the front of the book, this can get confusing. So you want to talk specifically about the endpaper at the back of the book, you may want to refer to the ‘back endpaper’.N.B. not all printed books have endpapers. Endpapers are used mostly in traditionally produced hardback books. Paperbacks normally don’t have endpapers.I hope this helps.
How do you re-attach pages that came out of a book?
Repairing books: If the binding of a book is broken or pages are falling out, keep them all together by tying the book with linen tape. Do not make repairs to tears with ordinary adhesive tapes or gummed paper as they will be impossible to remove without causing damage and will stain the paper and make it brittle. Unfortunately, well-meaning amateur repairs have the potential to do more harm than good. Similarly, re-binding can reduce the value of a book, both historically through loss of important bibliographic information, and financially.
When scrap-booking, how do you put refill pages in the book?
Is it a post-bound album? If so, go to the back of the album and look at the book binding part. There should be a flap you can lift up, then access screws. Is it a D Ring album? Separate the rings to lay new pages in place and snap them back together again. Is is a strap hinge album? Here is a video showing how to reload a post-bound, D-ring or strap hinge albums: http://youtu.be/Sm9CfNYEcEA
How do I repair a paperback book at home whose pages are falling out?
I used to do book repair work. There is a special type of glue used to fix paperbacks, but regular Elmer's white school glue works just as well. Remove the page that's falling out. Run a thin bead of the glue up the space where the page was, then put the page back in and press it in firmly so it sits down in the spine with the rest of the pages. You should get a little bit of extra glue that squishes out of the binding once the page is seated in correctly, so you have to take two pieces of plastic wrap and put them on either side of the mended page and pull them down tight by the binding so that the pages don't all stick together. Once that's done, rubber band the book so it stays together, and put something heavy on it. Let it sit for 24 hours so the glue has time to dry. When the glue is dry, carefully remove the plastic wrap, and your page should be in nice and tight.
Why are there blank pages at the end of a book?
Books are composed of "signatures," which are printed and folded sheets of paper that are gathered with other signatures, adhered to a cover, and trimmed to final size. Digitally printed signatures can be as small as 2 pages; the smallest signature for offset is 8 pages and more often you'll see offset books printed in signatures of 32, or 24, and occasionally 48, depending on the press. Sometimes the text ends before the last page of the last signature. A good editor/compositor team would work to minimize the number of blanks at the end of a book, but if you're churning your manuscript through a self-publishing service that's making a percentage on its paper turnover, it's likely you'll get more blanks. Before you go to press with your book, you need a final page count in order to get a print estimate, so it's possible to discover the blanks and put something in their place or reposition them. Publishers deal with this problem by numbering the frontmatter of a book (all the stuff before chapter 1 and sometimes the introduction) with Roman numerals and recommence the page numbering with the body of the book in Arabic so that if you do end up with blanks at the end, you can move them to the front of the book without having to repaginate the entire thing. For example, let's say you have a title page, copyright page, and two pages of contents in the frontmatter and four blanks (or two pages) in the back of the book. You can move one blank to the front as a half-title page or an a-b page of advance reviews and move the other page between the copyright page and the contents and put a dedication or a quote there.
Why doesn't my Kindle book have real page numbers?
All of the answers here are great, and provide insight into how e-books really work. However, the short answer to the question is that publishers decide if they want to provide the extra effort to give you “real page numbers” in a book. “Real page numbers,” of course, are the page numbers that appear in one of what are perhaps many print editions. So, when you look at the “real” page numbers in a Kindle book, remember that they link to a specific print edition of the book.Updating the answer to this question requires mention of a new (2016) feature in Kindle readers, the “Page Flip” function. If a publisher is willing to provide “real” page number info for a book, then you can use Page Flip to navigate around the e-book the way you might do with a print book. And if you look carefully you will notice that when you invoke Page Flip for a book, you will see a bunch of pages with the same page number. That comes from all the information here about re-flowable text, meaning that one page in the print book may be spread across four or five screens of text on the Kindle reader device.See this illustration for the way Amazon displays information about Page Flip (and by default, “real page numbers”). If you click on the number of pages (“Length: 352 pages”) it will show you the ISBN of the print edition from which the page numbers are derived. The “Page Flip: Enabled” also tells you that the book has “Real Page Numbers.”
