Spread thin coat of glue on the surface of each and lay them on by
the marks made. Cut a notch out of the covering so it will fold
in, and, after gluing
[Illustration: The Bound Book]
a strip of paper to the covering between the covers to strengthen
the back, fold over the outside edges of the covering and glue it
down all around.
Place the cover on the book in the right position, glue the hinges
fast to the inside of the covers, then glue the first flyleaf to
the inside of the cover on both front and back and place the whole
under a weight until dry.

** Metal Coverings for Leather Hinges [41]
A method of making a leather hinge work as well as an ordinary
steel butt is to cover the wings with sheet metal. The metal can
be fastened with nails or screws over the parts of the leather
attached to the wood. Tinplate, iron
[Illustration: Metal Parts Screwed on Leather Hinge]
hoops, zinc or thin brass cut in neat designs will make a leather
hinge appear as well as a metal hinge.
