This book repair tape is a vinyl coated cloth tape that is water and abrasion resistant. It has a matte finish, which makes it esthetically preferable and easily conforms to the contour of book spines. Each 2" x 15 yard (5cm x 14 meters) pressure-sensitive roll can be used to attach torn book covers. Please note: This material is not considered to be archival quality and should not be used on rare books or other artifacts.
