Given the poor quality of paper in this book, I'm not sure that conservation would be a financially viable option-- it would be very expensive, even if it could be done. The book is relatively common, but hard to find in nice condition.
I have thought about buying a lower grade copy for scanning and producing a copy that people can actually read. I have a nice high grade condition copy, but even with that copy, I have great hesitation in opening it and reading it, as it will invariably lead to some deterioration. It's a shame, as I would like to get more information from the book.
Barry, am I mistaken, or was there a 1920s original edition for this book?
