History of Cuban Baseball Book and Paper conservation question
I just picked up the book listed below. Its a history of cuban Baseball published in Cuba in 1949. The most interesting thing is that the majortiy of the photes are photes of cuban baseball cards- which is the only way that I will ever own these cards. The scan below shows what is clearly a group of 23-24 Nacionals including Jose Mendez. Many other Negro Leaguers are included.
While I am in part just showing a neat new item I picked up I also would like the boards thoughts on a conservation question. The book is made of paper that is very much like newspaper and therefore very brittle. Every time I leaf through I will have a bunch of edges flake off. I was actually thinking about trying to reenforce with tape. Any other thoughts woould be greatly appreciated.
