 Sellotape!!!!!!!!!!!! 
  
 Thats knocled at least €20 of its value fpr starters.  In work, we 
 never use sellotape for repairs because the adhesive is far to acidic, 
 and will damge the paper and card that the books are made of.  Also, it 
 discolours and if you are not careful the adhesive will stain the 
 cover.  My advicse is to go to a decent stationers, buy some  Scotch 
 Bookbinders Tape, it has a low acid adhesive and is matt so 
 blends in with the cover.  Carefully remove the sellotape, and replace 
 it with the binders tape.
