Phenomenal transformation! Way to preserve this golden age treasure for future generations!

I love the use of the plastic arch to maintain the spine during the humidifying. I use a pipe insulation foam tube, but I think I like the idea you showed better. I think most covers would benefit from a little blue light therapy before the final pressing. If you maintain the ambient humidity in the box with the comic with a piece of wet sponge you get very little, if any, dry waves in the paper. You did a fantastic job.

Beautiful job. I love the gloss on the cover and the interior wraps are vibrant. That small piece missing is a shame or this book would be high grade for sure. Excellent work as always, Shelby.

Thank you! I am going to start leaf casting so I can fix those little areas. I will be reaching out to you for sure.
