I’m 72 years old and I scooter almost daily to my part-time job. I scoot first through a suburban area, to the train station, and that ride has very little traffic. I take the train into the city, and then I scooter through the city usually I use bike lanes, I wear a helmet, that I’ve modified the helmet with the flashing light on the backside of it. My scooter has a tail light and a brake light. I highly recommend you make sure your scooter has these lights if you’re going to scooter anywhere with there is traffic.
If this book is going to get any decent amount of use, you will be better off doing a full cloth reback, which will fix the broken cover and put new hinges on the inside of the book covers.
You can see he is still standing there (at the 20 sec mark) right after the first section fell. The second section falling probably killed him, so he might have had a "holy shit, I'm going to die" moment.
What a simple request, but one that requires a complex answer. As a book restorer, yes, I can remove those marks, but would you be happy with the result and could you afford it? And then there is the ethical issue. I'd have to be convinced before starting there was no attempt on your part to deceive anyone about the past history or use of the book to increase the value of the book.
Use a non-acidic cream shoe polish like Meltonion or Kelley's. You can get a neutral clear that will go on anything. Never use oil and any leather treatment containing oils or residues that do not completely dry. The British Museum discovered after many years of using and promoting their special leather treatment that the oils would trap airborne contaminants which would then have years of time to work on degrading the leather. They stopped using their own leather dressing. I have been told, but can't verify, that a major American institution only uses acid-free cream polishes now to moisturize leather bindings. It's all I've been using for many years.
It is nearly impossible to fake an old book. Sure, covers and text blocks can be married up, but until the mid1800’s there was no such thing as a standard issue binding, like we have today. Books were often sold by the printer as loose signatures, then taken down the street to be bound by a binder. What kind of binding you got depended on how much you could spend.
I don't understand where this dryer sheet idea came from but it's a bad one. These sheets are loaded with chemicals, fatty acids, alcohol ethoxylates, clay, and fragrances. Why would anyone put this in a damp book is confusing. Anyway, as a book conservator I would recommend these steps.
As a professional book conservator for the past 25 years, I don’t see anything wrong with this book. Not all 500-year-old books have to look like that other photo, just a little care and maintenance can make a book look really good. That said, the second photo looks more like a book that hasn’t had any type of leather treatment. But leather treatments are good for old books, and if the first photo shows a treated cover, the nuts just about what I would expect it to look like.
Digitally I suppose a major Carrington event could wipe out a lot of data and books, but even with a single copy left anywhere, they could be repopulated quickly. First problem though is only a tiny fraction of all books published are digitized.
I don't think you'll be able to get rid of it completely, but you can minimize its effects. I use cellugel to help combat red rot. There are many places that sell it if you Google it.
Just an add-on to the Cellugel comment. Don't go overboard with it. Use it sparingly and do multiple thin coats until you stop getting the red dust flaking off. If you use too much cellugel, it turns plastic like and looks like crap.
It has a 92% success rate and almost unstoppable. Opponents hate it, and thier fans because of that. But no other team is able to do it with the success of the Eagles so there has to be some skill involved, but nobody wants to admit that. They’d rather complain.
For those who watch on YoutubeTV, I wanna see if y'all have the same problem. It automatically puts picture quality in 480p, and if I try to manually set it to a higher resolution, the page reloads and then YTTV puts on the 'next up' show instead of reloading redzone at high res. Then I refresh the page, RZ comes on, but its back to 480p. Does this happen to others?
Yes, and hospitals can attach liens, garnish wages, and take other steps to get their money. Bankruptcy might be a good option. It sounds rough, but you knew the risks when you chose to go outside/stay home/ exist
Rattle Mayfield early with aggressive rush. Get offense running on at least six of its eight cylinders. Avoid giving up the easy big play. Make the Bucs work for everything, they’ll fade late in the game against superior talent.
Based on what I’ve heard and seen about the respective Eagles D line and Patriots starters they better activate and elevate QB3 also. Murder is coming to Foxboro.
A topnotch book restorer can remove those spines, reback with new leather and reinstall the original spines so the book maintains that look, and gains another four hundred years of functionality. Not cheap, but it's doable with the right skill set and experience. FWIW, a crack down the center of the spine like that usually indicates a broken sewing structure. Several ways it can be fixed, up to the most expensive, resewing the text block, but it will have to be addressed.
Yeah that is my worry about the spine. When I open it at the crack I can see light through it it is only holding by the cords. I know it is much more to have it resewn if that is the case I’d probably not do it unless it gets to a point it absolutely needs it
If you’re not going to have heavy use of the book, you can either have an interlocking linen hinge that will connect the two halfs or a few kerf cuts in the spine outside the sewing thread locations, then embedded with linen threads would do the trick. Way less labor way less cost.
I took the deal for a minumum two month rental on a Unagi. I never scootered beforeband I wasn’t sure if I could pull the whole thing off. I have a 3 mile mostly suburban/semi rural ride to the train station, then a 3 mile commute in a major city that has a fair number of bike lanes. Plus I’m 71 years old.
Hi. I'm seeing copies of this book with the same title page as op for $100-150. What am I missing that leads you to a higher valuation? (Curious, not hostile)
It’s the binding that sets this book apart. This is considered a fine binding, and there are collectors for fine bindings. This one is in remarkably good condition. The pages are not ripped or showing excessive handling. Yes there are some smudges, but that can usually be easily addressed.
Yeah ok, you’re right. It’s a good thing those 10 or 12 top ABAA booksellers I work for don’t know that I don’t know a fucking thing about what I’m doing or handling. It’s a good thing those 10 or 12 high end collectors with $1 million libraries who have been using me for 25 years don’t see this post where you called me out. Lol. And oh yeah it’s a good thing. The President of the United States doesn’t see this because I do his work to, but I don’t know a thing.
Isn’t this ruling pretty much an admission by a pro-trump judge the documents are still classified and still need security clearance to see and that they were not magically declassified by thinking about it?
Finally real mold!!! This is what it looks like kids.

My immediate thought would be to use something like a light coat mink oil to void an oily feeling but it will darken the book

Still learning here, why is the tush push (what I presume is the massive group push all together) controversial?

So when do you think Deshaun Watson will run for the US senate?
When he changes his party to republican.

The binding is suffering from more than just "smudges". There are very clear areas of wear on the binding where the colouration is gone.
