Perfect spot to visit this fall📚🍂 The Morgan Library Museum Illuminating the creative process, 4000 BC to the present. Books will naturally age with time showing signs of wear and tear but luckily due to how books were made prior to the 19th century repairs can be made. When a book is repaired the area of focus is often on the spine, hinges, or corners. A book that needs repair is a sign that it was a book well read.
