One of the more common faults encountered on vintage and antiquarian books is gilt damage, whether it's chipping, fading or rub out. It's a surprisingly easy repair, however, and Book Repair editor Gail Altman discusses two techniques today.

Finally, a few words about BookThink's continued growth. BookThinker email subscribers now number in the thousands, and most of them are booksellers. This sets up a unique situation for potential advertisers. Nowhere else online is there a comparable ability to target so many booksellers as efficiently as you can in the BookThinker. If you have a product or service that would be of interest to our subscribers, a text ad could be very productive. What's more, we've launched a new special to make it even more affordable. You can now place up to a 6-line text ad in the email version of the BookThinker for only $9 an insertion (with a 4-week minimum). To take advantage of this, contact our marketing manager.
