Tip two sections together at each side of book by pasting edge ¼ inch, keeping back exactly even. Paste the four tapes flat to page, and paste lower portion of outside sheet 3 inches wide, and fold this over tapes, even with back edge; and press flat (8). Now glue the back with hot glue or fish glue, working in well between the sections, and allow to dry.
Round the back with flat hammer by tapping the edge, first one side, then the other, until a nice round is formed (9). Press or put under heavy weight until dry.
Cut folded sheet two inches from back. Cut off edges and make a cut to the back 1½ inches from each end (10).
