Washed Books ?
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 ? Thanks, Calvin |
