There are several factors that can lead to books getting damaged over time. Poor storage conditions, exposure to light and insect infestation are common factors. One of the most common culprits for damage is the use of adhesive tapes. These can discolour pages and leave behind unsightly residue. As the adhesive dries out it can cause further damage to the book.

It’s important to take and seek professional help in order to prevent the continued deterioration of your valuable books.

In some cases, the best option to preserve the value of a very rare or heavily damaged book is to create an archival Solander box enabling the book to be stored safely in it's current state and avoiding further damage.
