Abstract

ABSTRACT The reengineering broken book (RBB) technique allows for repair of hollowback structures, both natural and made, while preserving the original function and materials of the artifact. The repair utilizes a continuous sheet of thin tissue Kashiki Tengu-jo to line the contours of the internal surfaces exposed by broken shoulders, joints, and hinges. Subsequent layers of thin tissue introduce support only where needed. RBB requires no specialized tools or equipment and few supplies. Tracking the repair on 58 books in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Libraries published over a 200-year span has shown that this layering procedure results in a thin, flexible, and robust repair that is gentle enough for rare books and durable enough for circulating collections. Described here in its most straightforward application with suggested adaptations, RBB is an economical and minimally-interventive treatment.

再造破碎的书籍(RBB):一种最小介入的组织修复技术的空心书

再造破书(RBB)技术允许修复空心结构，无论是天然的还是人造的，同时保留人工制品的原始功能和材料。修复使用了连续的薄组织Kashiki Tengu-jo来排列由破损的肩部、关节和铰链暴露的内部表面的轮廓。随后的薄组织层只在需要的地方提供支撑。RBB不需要专门的工具或设备和很少的供应。对麻省理工学院图书馆200多年来出版的58本书的修复进行了跟踪研究，结果表明，这种分层过程产生了一种薄的、灵活的、坚固的修复方法，对稀有书籍来说足够温和，对流通藏品来说足够耐用。本文介绍了其最直接的应用和建议的适应性，RBB是一种经济且最小干预的治疗方法。视频摘要阅读文本在Vimeo上观看视频©2021 Jana Dambrogio。由Informa UK Limited出版，以Taylor & Francis Group的名义进行交易
