I was looking for some strong, clear and less tacky looking tape to help mend a bunch of Christian Prayer Books. This tape was easy to use and affordable. It was strong and supple enough that I could use it to reinforce tears that had happened between the cover and the rest of the book. I could also use it on the outside of the book and it still blended nicely with the red cover. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was I have yet to see how well it lasts.

I have fixed so many well loved (busted af) books already with this tape! It works so well, 100% recommend.

Our child has been bending board books backward lately and we needed a solution to save the damaged ones. Enter in book tape - I was able to easily cut the tape to size and trim more precisely with an x-acto knife to match the shape of the torn books. Books are back in the rotation and our child gets to enjoy reading them again! So far, the tape is proving very durable and sturdy. There is some minor peeling near the corners, but I'll keep an eye on them to see if it worsens or is just a normal result of using tape on a surface that is frequently held by small hands.

I buy quite a few used books and I use my books. I don't have any rare or first additions that require special binding. What I like most about this tapes aside from the fact that it actually binds and repairs the damage, is that it is clear and I can read the titles.I lead a study group and have quite few reference books , with the clear tapes I can easily find the book I need. I have tried other binding tapes but this is going to be my go to tape for future need. Hopefully this roll will do, there is 15 yards on the roll. Good value for money

Worked great on hinge repair on two of my favorite vintage books. They are now stabilized and sturdy. Thanks for making such a good product.

Bought this to repair pre owned graphic novels that my kids are collecting. Works well and better than regular tape.

I curate a library of Maritime History/ Original Ship Modeling books. Many of these books a have been and shall continue to be acquired from private collections. Many of them are in pristine condition, but others are well used and in danger of being lost to posterity. This is where my hard-earned skills in preservation and conservation of books comes in. I have used several types of contemporary tape, with varying degrees of success. Some tape is difficult to shape properly, adhere with smooth completion. I discovered Bookgard tape in a US Navy preservation shop, and was immediately taken with it. Smooth application, easy to manipulate, and lasts! I recommend it to every museum and curator I work with.

As a bibliophile with a young child, I find myself fixing books pretty often. I’ve tried clear packing tape but it has a tendency to rip and longer term get brittle so I tried this stuff. I’ve also used linen hinge tape which is great but not transparent for fixing pages and picture books. This is like the tape libraries use to reinforce bindings and tape on book numbers! Very strong, but still flexible. Working great for torn pages, spines and board books that ripped at the binding. Great for preserving and restoring your (or your tot’s) favorite books!

Our toddler loves his books and many of them are showing signs of wear and tear, with flaps coming off, pop-up bits coming apart and spines disintegrating. We bought a roll of this and have found it to be perfect for breathing life back into his much loved books. So far the fixed books seems to be standing up well to further toddler attentions.Far superior to our previous efforts to fix with sellotape.

Very good product. I only take out one star because of the thickness: it makes it less appropriate to repair many single pages inside the books. But for reinforce or repair the covers or the first page connection to the cover it is just perfect: robust and flexible.
