Hi Liz Not sure if this might be of interest: http://valeriemadill.com/index.php?/project/looking-at-libraries/ If you follow the prev/next links, you can get an idea of how the labels were made. regards Dave Pattern University of Huddersfield ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 14:16:32 +0000 From: "E. Johnson" <[log in to unmask]> 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 Liz This transmission is confidential and may be legally privileged.
