If you follow the prev/next links, you can get an idea of how the labels were made.

Subject: Spine labels for old books
Dear all,=20
I am attempting to organise a small specialist library, and some of the
books are quite old. I don't think they're of any great value as most ar=
e
pretty tatty, some are maybe over 100 years old however. I don't want to =
add
to the tattiness by sticking spine labels onto them and encouraging even
more deterioration, I wondered what alternatives exist? I thought of hal=
f
wrapping them with paper strips so I could at least see the classmark and=
shelve/straighten easily but could anyone who works with old books let me=
know what the normal procedure is? Or any other creative ideas please.
Many thanks,=20
