I discovered yesterday that most of the magazines I am collecting have had the staples fall out. In a couple of them, the cover has completely fallen off! Does anyone have advice on magazine repair?

The video is pretty interesting. Does anyone know what the name is of the glue that she used in this video?
The reason I asked above is because I bought a magazine that looks like it needs some work. Front and back cover partially detached and I may need to perform some spine work depending on what it looks like when it arrives.
Possibly PVA glue like this: http://www.hollanders.com/index.php/...-4-ounces.html
Brodart has PVA a little cheaper. http://www.shopbrodart.com/supplies/...ve3?q=40405001
I have used this product and it works great. In fact she could have used it to repair the magazine tear instead of using tape.
Thanks and thanks. Time to get a bottle and a trial magazine or two.
