Book Care

If you know the right book and can condition it properly a $25 buy can be worth hundreds of thousands. This is an excellent how-to book. The Prof.

Excellent Buy

I wish everybody had the enthusiasm for caring for books that Jane Greenfield does. Too many are classic, valuable tomes thrown into used bookstores and decimated over time. This book is an excellent guide to caring for your books, and making them valuable over time.
