Hello!
This is a post I've been thinking to write a long time ago: how to store and treat books!
People often ask me questions about this subject and it seems to be easy, but one or other detail may pass before we realize it.
So, as the text is somewhat long and as I also want to give tips on some books made by Estúdio Brigit, I'll call these posts "Brigit's Hints."
So here we go.
The conservation of books:
Preventive conservation of books is very important. There is nothing worse than open a book and find a moth in it!
Restoring a book can also be expensive because it is a service made by a professional that uses specialized techniques and resources. So it's better caring before rather than having to restore afterwards.
In general, the more or less deterioration of a book, as well as the time it takes, depends on the quality of the paper, the type of glue, the type of line used on the seam, light, temperature, humidity, the kind os insects and fungi that the books are exposed to. How much stuff.
Where to store the books?
First of all let's talk about the room itself.
If you have a comfortable room used as a library or office, it must be ventilated and it must have at least one window so you can open it daily for a few hours; never keep books in cellars, basements, roofing felts and not even in that "small and cute" room but without windows or ventilation since the humidity in these places can bend the covers and encourage fungus and moths.
The direct light from the sun on the books can also fade and yellow them. If you can not avoid the incidence of the sunlight on the books, use a curtain or blinds and clean them periodically so that fungi or insects do not accumulate.
The chosen room should really be attended by people from the house because it helps dispel some insects since the books will be handled frequently. While handling the books by turning its pages the oxygen goes through the pages and the microorganisms that normally arise and attack the paper do not accumulate , so the sheets do not become so dry and do not stick on each others.
Speaking of sheets, usually when I describe a book made by Studio Brigit using the words "sheets," "pages", "signature", etc., people do not understand, so, later I'll write a special post with some definitions of the components of a book.
That's it, a little at a time!
