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.

a hard cardboard sleeve

So is it more like a slipcase, then?

Yes! Exactly that. Thank you for the word.
