Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packing Tape, Clear, 1.88 in x 22.2 yds, 1 Tape Roll with Dispenser

Hate to say it, but some of my old, stuff, chunky paperbacks just have to get packing tape on the spine. Depends on how valuable/precious it is. The tape isn’t really visible (packing tape is very clear and very strong), but it would make it less display-friendly. If I have a volume just for my own reading pleasure, I kinda love reinforcing it with tape because it makes it feel almost invincible. Edit to clarify: this is the kind of tape I mean. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scotch-3850-Heavy-Duty-Packaging-Tape-in-Sure-Start-Dispenser-2-x-22-yds/15118480
