    5.0 out of 5 stars The Invisible Guardian of Beloved Books
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    For those who hold their books dear, Scotch Book Tape transcends its humble title – it emerges as a steadfast guardian. This premium tape goes beyond mere adhesion; it excels at repairing, reinforcing, protecting, and seamlessly covering bound edges and surfaces, safeguarding your cherished volumes for years to come. Its transparency is unparalleled, blending seamlessly with the book's cover, ensuring minimal disruption to the aesthetic integrity of your collection. Applying the tape is a breeze, thanks to its smooth unwinding and effortless adhesion, making repairs and reinforcements a swift and painless endeavor. Despite its slender profile, this tape exhibits surprising sturdiness, maintaining a strong hold and steadfast adhesion over time, guaranteeing that your repairs remain secure for the long haul. I strongly advocate for preemptive measures, such as applying this tape to the spine of new acquisitions upon their arrival home, as this proactive approach can significantly prolong their lifespan and forestall potential damage before it can take root. Consider implementing librarian-approved techniques for invaluable reference tomes or well-loved children's books, such as strategically taping the first and last pages alongside the spine for added reinforcement. While the initial cost may appear slightly elevated compared to standard tape, consider the invaluable protection it offers to your literary treasures. Scotch Book Tape represents an investment in the longevity of your beloved books, sparing you the expense and heartache of replacing damaged volumes in the future. Unlike regular tapes that degrade, lose their adhesive properties, and discolor over time, Scotch Book Tape maintains superior quality and provides peace of mind. In essence, Scotch Book Tape stands as an indispensable tool for any bibliophile. Its near-invisibility, ease of use, and enduring protection make it an essential component in the preservation of your literary treasures. Don't allow your precious books to succumb to the ravages of wear and tear; instead, fortify their future with Scotch Book Tape. Your future self, and your books, will undoubtedly express their gratitude for this thoughtful investment.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Clear, sturdy, a little hard to place
    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I've used book tape before, and have some old books that needed a little doctoring. This tape is very clear, a little more so than clear packing tape. It claims to also be a little thinner, but seems the same to me. I has no roller/cutter - that would leave the characteristic zig-zag cut at the end. Use good scissors to get a clean, straight cut. Like package tape, this tends to stick to itself and to the book while I'm in process of cutting and then lining it up on the book, so it's a little bit hard to keep it from going on a little crooked or wrinkled - it would be nice to be able to place it and then remove and replace if needed to get a really neat fit.

    As is increasingly common (and at 95% for USPS-delivered items, which this is) the manufacturer's box looks as if run over by a mountain bike. ___ Purchase will work, nonetheless. We will endure the damage but it offers good reason for purchasing in a retail store.
