This signed hardcover book is a great addition to your collection. When handling it, wash your hands to avoid getting dirt on the pages. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of the cover and the colored top of the text block. Store it in a dry place to avoid mold and damage. As for reading, gently turn the pages to prevent them from tearing, especially the dog - eared ones. If you notice any loose pages, you can use archival tape to secure them, but be very careful not to damage the text. Enjoy this piece of history while taking good care of it.
