Taking care of your old books
I got an email from one of our buyers asking about how to take care of your collection, so I thought I would post the few websites I was going to send to them on the blog here for everyone.
First you can stop at our rare book room where we have some commonly asked questions.
There is also some information at the Library of Congress website
The Tippecoanoe County Public Library has some more tips…
and About.com has collected a series of articles about care for books and photographs.
The most important thing to remember is don’t attempt to fix badly damaged rare books yourself. Seek the advice of a rare book specialist, as they have the training and experience to ensure the safety of your treasures
