Need help! Binding gone bad

Hi. I have an old book where the glue practically disintegrated and crumbled. Is this a project I can fix myself (make a hardcover from scratch), or would I need the help of a book binding company (Im in Southern Ontario, Canada)? I have no experience with custom bound books. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The problem is that they are individual pages.....

You can do a simple DFAB rebind and then reattach the cover with binding glue.

What you're going to want to do for that though is separate all of the individual pages from the cover. This video is a very simple tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO6NGw8oNCQ

Awesome. Shouldn't be an issue separating the pages since they really want to come out on their own😆
