Better than packing tape
This looks like packing tape but it conforms to irregular surfaces better and lasts decades longer.

Saved A Favorite Book
My daughter has a favorite cookbook from 1965 and with help from this tape we were able to save the original book. Very pleased! Just be sure you pick the best width for your book; we only needed the 2" tape. We also used it to mend torn pages Past attempts to repair with 'regular' tape didn't last as the tape turned yellow and peeled off. This stuff is the correct ...

Save the books!
I ran out of this tape for my church's library. Staples shipped quickly so now we have some of our older books repaired and ready for more years of use. It's so much better than regular packing tape.

Book tepair
I bought this book tape to repair an old book. Unfortunately the book had a cloth cover front and back and this tape would not stay on. It appears to be a good tape—- just not in cloth.

Great Book tape !!!!!
24th Aug 2022 My little Pug dog chewed-up two of my books @ the conors. I was able to hide the damage with heavy paper & then re-inforced all with your book tape. Mission completed !!!! Thank you Cheers. Chuck.

"Book Tape" good for fixing old books but could be better
3M Book Tape does well what it should: reinforces and repairs frail old books. Heavy tape with excellent adhesion available in several widths. (I found 2" wide best.) However it is SHINY and looks unsightly when applied to a cloth covered book as many older books are. Could be much improved by reformulating the resin to make it an "invisible" tape as the best se...

Scotch Book Tape
It was great for repairing a bound concordance that was very large and ripped away from its board back and binding.

Good results could be better...
The online presentation would be more useful if the instructions for application were available or visible. The reason is that selection of the width of tape needed depends on the way it is applied and the thickness of the book. Without instructions selection of the width is just a guess. I tried to find this tape in my local store but it wasn't carried. If I had bee...

Made to Last Longer
To repair books you want to last more than just a few years DON'T use clear packing tape it wasn't designed to last. Book tape withstands years of handling. It is thicker and yet seems to conform better to irregular surfaces. I also use it to "laminate" things like cheap cardboard ID cards. One roll lasts a long time. Scotch is the best brand of book tape I've found.
