These antique romance books are great for leisurely reading or as a collectible. To use them, simply open the pages and start enjoying the stories. When handling, make sure your hands are clean to avoid soiling the pages. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further sunning and damage. Be gentle when opening and closing the covers, especially since the front board covers are loose at the hinge. If you notice any loose pages, you can use a little archival - safe glue to re - attach them carefully.
