Washed Books ? by [email protected]
Hi RCB-ers, A rare book seller told me that a 400-year old book (that I just found) was washed and rebound in the XIX century, to fit the style of the library of the new owner. He said this was a common practice back then. Is this true ? How does that affect the book condition and book value ?

E. Richard Johnson by Willow Arune[_2_]
Thanks to finding one book by this writer in a strange second hand place, I now have all of his very "noir" books and enjoyed them all. What makes it a bit strange is that Johnson wrote all his books while serving time for murder at Stillwater Prison in Minnesota. SILVER STREET starts them off,...

American History and Encyclopedia of Music (1908) by EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)
I have the full ten-volume set in extremely well-preserved condition. (I'd say "mint", because the books have had the best of care, but a hundred years, even carefully preserved in a bookcase, leave their mark.) The set belonged to my grandfather, and although some of the information may be...
