Advice needed for repairing an old book

​

Hello everyone! I'm kinda new to bookbinding, so far I made only some personalized Coptic stitch journals for my friend and a couple of hardcovers. Now I have this book , there actually two of them, them my friend ask me if I could repair, I said I could try. now from my limited understanding these books use a perfect binding, right? So to repair them, I should use the same method or is there any other method I could use? But beside the text block itself, I'm not sure what to do about the cover. I obviously would like to preserve it somehow.

Any suggestions are well accepted. thanks everyone in advance.
