Checked out that old library in Salem and found a book bound with what looked like old wallpaper paste.

Honestly, wallpaper paste sounds about right for a cheap old binding... it's probably not some secret magic glue. They used whatever was on hand back then.

Wait but what if the wallpaper paste itself was the ritual ingredient?

My first thought would have been some weird ritual thing too. I used to assume anything odd from Salem had a spooky reason. Reading up on old bookbinding methods totally changed my view. They really did use whatever cheap stuff was around, like flour paste or animal glue. It makes a lot more sense when you look at how they made things back then. Finding old wallpaper paste in a book is just practical, not paranormal.
