Bookbinding and its auxiliary branches . e the firstbook and turn in the ends; set the heads and turn in thecorners; then put back in press as described in the pre-ceding chapter under that head. Covering Three-quarter-bound, Cloth Sides.—The leather back and corners are cut and pared asdescribed in the chapter on cutting and paring turning in of the leather corners is greatly facilitated,especially on round corners, if the leather is dampened atthe ends. Apply a medium-thick paste and put two BLANK BOOK FORWARDING 197 together. Not more should be pasted than can be finishedin an hour. Wait a few minutes to allow the paste tobecome tacky, then lay the corners on the board so as toallow one-half of an inch turn-in over the corner edge of the leather should be of equal distance fromthe corner edge on the sides and fore edge of the in the projecting ends on the sides and tuck in theleather with the thumb-nail, then apply a little paste andbring over the projecting leather on the fore edge, rub-. bing down with the folder. If the boards are round-cornered, as they should be, fold the leather together thewidth of the curve and rub down with a folder. Theleather should be pared thin and deep for all round cor-ners to permit a neat turn-in. Insert a piece of zincbetween end-leaves and boards and set aside to dry. Wetthe leather with a sponge and rub the leather across thegrain to facilitate working in the leather close to thehubs. This can be eliminated on beveled hubs. Pare theends as described in the chapter on paring leather. Pastethe leather with a medium-thick paste and lay more should be pasted than can conveniently be fin-ished in an hour. Wait a few minutes until the pastehas become tacky, then separate the leather backs andlay a book on so that the leather will cover about one-sixth of the board. Then bring over the other end anddraw across the back. Stand the book on the fore edgeand w^ork in the leather from the ends
