Spine glue

[bergclimber34]

I have quite an old paperback book that I read a fair bit, but the pages are coming away from the spine and are falling out.

Is there anything you can do about this? If it was one or two I would tape them, but it is quite a few, books is falling apart and is hard to rebuy

Copydex should work, if you don't mind the initial smell.

Or just good ol' PVA wood glue.

Buy some spline glue from Amazon?

Copydex is flexible when dry (it's rubber latex).
Won't PVA be too brittle?

I just use cheap white wood glue for this
