These books are great for anyone interested in dog anatomy. You can use them to learn about the structure of dogs or as a guide for dissection. When handling the books, be gentle, especially with the one in heavier - worn condition. To keep them in good shape, store them in a dry and cool place. Don't place heavy objects on them to avoid further damage to the bindings. If you notice any loose pages, you can use a little bit of archival tape to secure them.
