Little Booklets Are "Signatures".

mindful webworker, the little booklets are "signatures". The damage you describe is pretty easy to fix, actually. I took a wonderful class on book rebinding that helps with that--but for a true antique you might want to consult a pro. If you don't care about museum-quality restoration, though, you could probably do it yourself. Try looking up YouTube videos on book repair or binding.
