How do you reinforce an old, flimsy Canson sketchbook cover?

I recently dug up an old vertical-style sketchbook with a few art class doodles from middle school.
As it turns out, there's tons of blank sheets, meaning I don't have to buy a new one for my college design course. Score! But the cover looks a bit peaked and banged up. It *is* 5 years old. Is there anyway to fix and reinforce the broken bits along the spiral without making it look tacky?

Just find a piece of thicker, colored cardboard, punch a couple of holes in it and use a ribbon to thread it to the spiral holding it together. And then maybe put some stickers or something on it to make it look nicer.

Take some washi tape and line the back with the tape. This may look tacky, depending what tape you use and how you use ita
