very well said. I agree, wholeheartedly with your sentiments.
I have quite a few spalding and reach volumes in only fair condition that I
decided to protect on my bookshelves while still having them available to me
for reading every week or so. I bought some inexpensive hard cover albums for photos which were near the size of my volumes. I, then, removed the plastic sheets and placed the prized tomes between the hard covers. Not the best of all worlds but a great way to keep them from getting the life squeezed out of them in my bookcases.
all the best,
Barry
