Just another angle. This bad boy was pretty wrinkly but very clean when I picked it up.

I love books like this where the water damage was clearly just a ton of humidity and not likely a spill :)

Nice vibrant copy btw, congrats! Feel free to send a pic of the pesky price tag.

Without seeing the price tag itself I’ll give a few tips.
1. Try hitting it gently with a hair dryer to loosen the glue first
2. Lighter fluid is safer than alcohol when it comes to removing glue
3. If you can find a Scotty peeler (see my recent porky the pig post) they are awesome for this stuff

I follow a few key rules:
1. Wet paper is weak paper, so I sandwich the wrap between two sheets of non-woven polyester fabric.
2. Move the bath around gently. On older inks this causes some flaking but on newer books it’s pretty safe!
3. Always dry pages in a cold press to avoid shrinkage!

For sure! There’s a terrible spine roll and the cover is nearly detached. This will be a “conservation” experiment.

Shockingly no heat needed but that does help when the tape is older or more set into the page.
I’m going to do some dry method tear seals on this one for practice. The cover is TATTERED!!!

For a little more context:
- This is modern tape (easier to remove)
- I used a “Scotty Peeler” (the blue thing)
- There will inevitably be some staining left over after I dry clean!

I have kinda considered it and I sincerely appreciate your vote of confidence in my work 😂 💚🙏
Other people have encouraged me to go to local shops with my before and afters and offer my services.
Maybe someday!!! 🤞 my new day job is pretty demanding.
