The photo is my 18th century magician, Mr. Bayly. I recreate magic shows of the past for museums, historical societies, private parties & corporate functions. I collect early magic ephemera with a major focus on Victorian Magic Theme trade cards.
Books are rare and special, and cherished. They sometimes have problems. This Repair Kit is amazingly complete. If you have a good book with a tear, loose page, dirt, etc., you can use this kit to repair it. This is for books you want to handle and read, and it works. If you have a rare, 18th century leather bound book, that needs repair, you should send it to a restoration bookbinder. But for modern books, or non-rare books, this kit is highly recommended. (No I do not get a commission for writing this.)
