Quasi-tissue guards?
I picked up a copy of *Gun Engraving Review* today, and the color plates in
the front of the book are protected by a nearly transparent sheet of something that looks like very thin, textured wax paper rather than tissue. Does anyone know if there is a special name for this kind of picture guard material? Alice -- Book collecting terms illustrated. Occasional books for sale. http://www.mywingsbooks.com/ |

One again you spammed the group and proved to the world what a fat-assed, hypocritical busybody you are. |

Does anyone know if there is a special name for this kind of picture guard material? Sounds like glassine, a type of treated paper. From the entry "barrier sheet" from Etherington & Roberts: A leaf inserted in a book to prevent the transfer of ink (and possibly acid substances) from a plate or illustration to a facing page, as well at times to elucidate the plate or illustration it accompanies. The sheet may be a highly sized paper, so called acid-free paper, or, more often, glassine paper. It may be loose in the book, sewn in with the binding, or, in the usual case, tipped to the leaf it protects. Barrier sheets are frequently made of an inferior quality of paper, one which will eventually develop acidity that can in turn be transferred to the facing text leaves, weakening them. For this reason, they should be removed, or, if they bear letterpress and therefore must be retained, deacidified and buffered, strengthened (if necessary), and reinserted in the volume.

The recommendation in the article to remove such sheets is the first time I've seen advice to remove any component of a book "as issued." Wouldn't that decrease the value of the book? And wouldn't it just re-create the problem of some kind of ink transfer from the picture to the facing text page? I know that I, for one, shall be keeping my spiderweb'd glassine barrier sheets because they're just too cool not to! Alice |

Alice I've seen books with darkened areas that match the left-in preservative sheet. I always thought they were there just to prevent ink transfer on slower- drying inks of the past. Is yours bound-in? If not, it could be de-acified. Kris Sorry for my bad joke Sometimes..... |

Wouldn't that decrease the value of the book? And wouldn't it just re-create the problem of some kind of ink transfer from the picture to the facing text page?... I agree - I would not want to remove an integral component of a book. [If the sheets are loose, then I would store them in a mylar envelope or de-acidify them] How about inserting thin acid free sheets on both sides of each barrier sheet - then you would protect the book with "barrier sheet barrier sheets." The problem with this is that the acid will eventually eat through the barrier sheet, so they would need to be replaced every decade or so (your milage may vary). Brian |

Well, I have to confess that your joke brought to mind a little ditty about weapons and guns that a former Marine told me...Something about one being used for pleasure and fun and the other being used to protect the first. Only his rhymed, of course. Which gives the title of my book: *Gun Engraving Review* a whole different twist... Alice -- Book collecting terms illustrated.
