If you own this 'Songs of the Pogo' music book, here's how to handle it. When using it, gently turn the pages to avoid tearing, especially since the spine is detached. Keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent further aging and discoloration. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cover and dust jacket. Avoid using any wet or chemical cleaners as they might damage the book. When not in use, store it on a flat surface or upright on a bookshelf to maintain its shape. Enjoy exploring the wonderful music within this unique 1956 first - printing book!
