I finished mending the outer signatures with Japanese tissue and have sewn (as you see in the picture) the text block back together. The next step is to even it up, add paste and work it into the grooves, round the back, create a new spine lining, add a fabric lining, and reinsert the text block back into the original boards. Then I can paste down the original spine cover to the spine, and place in the book press for a final pressing.
