These vintage novels are great for reading or adding to a collection. When handling, hold them gently to avoid further wear on the covers and spines. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of the spines and labels. If the detached spine bothers you, you can take it to a professional bookbinder for repair. Store the books in a dry place to prevent any mold growth on the pages. And enjoy reliving the stories from a bygone era!
