Dear all, 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 are 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 half 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, Liz
