Magazine question by
Pseudolus
We're cleaning out my father's possesions, and he has an entire bookcase
full of bound western magazines such as Frontier Times, Real West, etc.
These were professionally bound, like libraries do sometimes, and are all
in good shape. A local magazine dealer told me that he had ruined...

David Bilek
A quick question for more experienced collectors about the Brodart
jacket covers: Are the only acid-neutral covers the "Just a Fold III"
archival quality covers? Or are their other covers okay as long as

bookseller today. Just so you know, this woman does not deal in rare
