I just bought a very clean Scott International Album, copyright 1947. It is light blue with red binding. The outer edges are starting to fray. Will it devalue the album to put red tape along the edge to match the binding tape? Thanks!

re: Album care question

If using tape is the suggested answer - get high quality Cloth Book Binding tape.

Comes in many colors 15yd 2' tape about $15

get archival-safe & PH-Neutral adhesives

BookGuardâ„¢ Premium is a good choice

Thank you. Sounds better than red duct tape. Thom

re: Album care question

Hi pre1940classics;

There are probably also some tutorials on book preservation and repair. Just Gooooooooogle it.

I worked in the Catholic high school in their library to pay my tuition ($500/yr). While in that position
I learned with the right tools, how easy it is to restore old books, and interesting too....

That's about what my folks paid for me to go to Catholic high school. In fact I'm going to my 40th reunion next weekend. When I found out that tuition for that same school is now about $10,000 a year, I was amazed!

re: Album care question

In the 1950s tuition was $600 per year at St Dominic's in L.I., Oyster Bay, New York
I know that because each week of the Junior and Senior years about half my salary at the A&P supermarket in Huntington Station went into a Jar. When there was $20 or $30 accumulated it would go into the bankbook that was also in the jar. The challenge was to cover half of the tuition myself, working at $0.55 an hour and to save some for college. In the senior year, I worked 20 hours at the A&P and then would slip out the back door and walk to Rudy's Delicatessen five doors away to work another five or six hours on Saturday and perhaps eight hours on Sunday from about seven AM when they opened. At least that was cash, off the books, and Mrs. Rudy always saw to it that I ate well for free.
I still have an almost religious experience when I enter a real Deli and can smell German food sizzling on the grill from the back room. When customers who had seen me in the A&P said something, I explained that that was my twin brother and some people believed it. They would stop me in the A&P to comment that they had met my brother at the deli.

What makes me laugh is when I hear the kids today complain about schoolwork, because I graduated at the top of my class, behind only one girl in total grades but ahead in accumulated credit hours.
