[Michlib-l] Demco Cover One Book Repair Machine

[Library Director]

Hi,

You might take this with a grain of salt as we are a smaller library/budget than you.

I purchased one of these early last year, and love it. I have had to fix books where the entire page block is pretty much loose/fallen out. Upon repair, it doesn't ever look like there was an issue. The cover one would do that too, but the price, customer service, and shipping are hard to beat. Such a game changer!

Amazon.com : Thermobind ThermoBind TB500 Medium Duty, Universal Thermal Binding Machine : Office Products<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EIHCTVI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1>
50 Glue Strips (free shipping)<https://www.thermobinding.com/shop/Thermal-Binding-Glue-Strips.html> (the glue strip supplies, better pricing than amazon IIRC)

It used to be a little under $300, so the price has gone up. Comparatively, the cost of the Cover One and the different sized glue strips you'll have to buy would be close to $2,000. We cannot justify that, but others might be able.

Best,
