Re: removing cuttings from a book



My thanks to those who replied on my enquiry about removing decaying
newspaper clippings from a book, in particular pointing out the 'added
value' of the clippings.

I shall probably take the compromise
route and detach them and store them appropriately with the book, whilst
doing what is possible to preserve the book itself. In this case, whilst I
appreciate the notion of retaining a book's *history* as well as its
fabric, the book in its original form is more important to me as a
historical document than its subsequent 'evolution' - it is one of 150
copies printed in 1900 recording and using the so-called Fell types
whose punches and matrices still exist at Oxford University Press from
the 1600s.

Thanks, all.

Best regards, Martyn
