It does seem common practice though. I also have an old family Bible that is literally falling apart at the seams. There's a reinforcing strip down the spine with some quite obscure writing on it - nothing as clear as this though! The text appears to be in Latin but is extremely worn and faded.
Be interesting to follow other peoples thoughts on this.
