  • REPAIRING - A VINTAGE Paperback - I, ROBOT by Isaac ASIMOV - With BOOK Binders GLUE - GREAT Result!
    In today's video I repair and tidy up a scarce vintage Digit paperback I bought off eBay recently. The book was held together by Sellotape which had aged and flaked off and the book page block was in many parts. Using a dedicated book binder's glue I was able to piece back the block and get the book looking quite nice.

    Jules, great to see you restoring such a classic vintage paperback. I wonder how many were thrown in the bin! They are salvageable and can be restored with patience.These books are not as common as they used to be, especially in nice condition, some not at all. Good job!

    Great video, Jules and a fantastic repair - you really brought that book back from the dead. That Glue-It is really amazing, I've used it for a couple of years and it does a wonderful job. Jason.

    Not sure I'd personally of bothered going to all that trouble, good clean, pages all in place and the bag it. Unlikely I'd read it or open the bag up again. Perhaps if it was to be resold it would be worth the effort otherwise maybe not. Decisions, decisions eh. Nice vid all the same as always.

      Thanks, I wanted to test the new glue and I felt this was the perfect candidate. A real rarity in any condition tbh. Worth the effort, I feel.

    The classic Digit copy where they managed to spell Asimov's name wrong, hard to find in any condition these days.

      It's true, I'm guessing he was a bit cheesed off with the publisher. Definitely a tough one to find. It's taken me about a year of solid searching. So even low grade it was worth repairing.

    How do you get the old musty smell out of old paper and books.

    • @JulesBurt
      @JulesBurt  Місяць тому +2

      It's tricky, if not impossible. Generally it smells because the book has been stored in a damp environment, historically. Not something that can easily be fixed.
