I have a pretty old book that has a hard cardboard sleeve that's really frayed at the corners, so that the bottom part of it is coming off a bit. What kind of glue would you use? I want to keep it from fraying again or damaging/having weird effects on the material over time.

I bind my own books using fiberboard and leather, and wood glue has always worked for me. My oldest book is around 9 years old and it is still going strong
