To use this book, simply open it and start reading to explore the art and life in America. When handling, be gentle to avoid further damage to the already slightly worn dust - jacket. Keep it in a dry place to prevent any additional foxing on the text block. If you want to preserve it long - term, store it on a bookshelf away from direct sunlight. Don't bend the pages too forcefully as the book has been around for a while. If you notice any loose parts, try to handle it more carefully.
