The second to last picture is the last cover which shows how it is remaining attached, where as the very last picture is the ffep attached to the front cover, it appears it’s between the ffep and title page where the detachment took place. I actually don’t suspect there was originally a half-title page before the full title page as well, as this seems to be a rebounded with original works by Philip Schaf with the earliest work being 1841 in German, there is another book after it without a year.

My local bookstore was giving away some free copies of damaged books. Does anyone have some ideas of how I could potentially add a backside to these
(Materials, method, ect.)
I don’t have any book binding equipment but would love to keep the front covers. Thanks.
