The old family Bible's spine finally gave out last Tuesday

I carefully used some bookbinding glue and linen thread for a repair, but the leather is so brittle. Has anyone else had luck preserving a book from the 1880s?

Consider a thin layer of acrylic leather conditioner after the glue fully cures.
