If you own this antique book, here's how to handle it. First, when reading, hold it gently by the covers to avoid further damage to the slightly loose binding. Don't open it too wide all at once, as the spine is already detached. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the pages and cover. When you're not using it, you can place it on a shelf upright. If you notice any dust on the book, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it off. And remember, because it's an antique, be extra careful with it to preserve its charm for a long time.
