From people who repair a lot of books.

"Fantastic. Great deals if you buy in quantity. I can’t make my artists books without it."

Joy, artist book maker, on 2" BookGuard cloth tape

"I have been using this tape for years to rebind books and I am always impressed with the quality and all the great colors!!"

Jessicaon 2" BookGuard cloth tape

"I used it on my sample books that dozens of customers handle. They were coming apart until I used this binding tape."

Roberton 2" BookGuard cloth tape

"Easy to work with and my repaired books look tidy. Easy to trim edges with an x-acto knife to keep clean sharp edges."

Michelleon 1" BookGuard cloth tape

"These tapes work extremely well, either to cover compromised spines or, with very little effort, to surface new ones. The assorted colors make the latter particularly pleasing as contrasting or blending with original binding coloration."

Edwardon 2" BookGuard cloth tape

"Great solution to fixing books in my class!"

Rueon 3" BookGuard cloth tape

"The Premium cloth book binding tape is amazingly Durable and the tape is very sticky. The colors are brilliant."
