A tool for those who value books as books, who shudder when they are stained, dog-eared, highlighted, or written in. This guide to the respectful care and preservation of books was produced by the world’s largest book repository, the British Library. It shows how to open a book without breaking its spine and how to store books properly on a shelf, as well as the intricate work of restoring and rebinding old and precious books damaged by time, fire, or water. (40 minutes)
