This book is a great resource for studying the Messiah concept in the Old Testament and later Judaism. To use it, simply open it up and start reading. When handling, be gentle due to the stiffening and slightly broken binding. Try to keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent further yellowing of the pages. If you want to protect the dust jacket, you can use a clear book cover. When not in use, store it upright on a bookshelf to maintain its shape.
