Expensive? When paperbacks are $20 these days, a $4 cover that makes them into a hardback is practically free, when you consider that it increases the lifetime of that book to the point where by the time you wear it down after decades of reading and transporting (if it wears down at all) you won't have even missed the $4. $4 - "expensive." People spend $4 on a coffee everyday or eat fast food how many days per week? We can find $4 per bookcover that will last and keep giving back if we really wanted to. On the other hand, how long does it take you to ruin that $20 paperback book without a plastic cover? It's basically a one-time use/throwaway, disposable book if it hasnt worn away completely by the time you finish reading it, much less decades! Always invest in the best. Like John Hammond says "spare no expense!" In some areas of life, certain things are priceless. Books may be one of them.
Very good video. I'm getting 100 pounds of trout for my pond today and, hopefully, this spring I'll try to hatch my own eggs! ! I'm thinking about using and old refrigerator and a length of tubing as a chiller.
Not an archrival repair. Would have thought a library would do a better job, especially since its an old hardcover book! The orginal person did ok with puting the sticker on the mylar protector.
With regard to books, Scotch magic tape does more harm than good. (It might seem perfect at the moment it is applied, but over a period of time the glue will eventually seep into the page.) You would have been better off either leaving the tears as-is, or using archival tape which is especially made for repairing torn book pages.
Hello I have already a trout aquarium with some trout fish I was wondering if you were selling trouts or no's a place where I can buy trouts I hope I'm not bothering you and if so I'm sorry but it would be helpful to let me no where to buy trout fish feel free to comment back at any time thank you
Where you can purchaase trout depends on your state's Fish and Game commission. You will have to ask them. Usually it is highly regulated for good reason.
The big tip in here is to measure the height of your book to buy the appropriately sized mylar protector. This video is generally helpful, but for a personal library/bookshelf, don't use tape at all if the book has any extrinsic value - the tape is an alteration and will devalue a book. Just use a mylar book jacket cover, and align any tears in the jacket as best you can. She does mention that because they have such high turnover in a library, they don't worry about using tape, nor about the type of tape they use. But if you're interested, there is acid-free archival tape and archival mending tape (examples at thelibrarystore-dot-com - see category "archival tape". If you're taking care of books in your home and care enough to bother performing repairs, it's worth more to use the right tape and not see yellowing lines of adhesive stain over time.
She was very fast putting those books back by alphabetical order. It would have taken me like 2 minutes to do that. And I would be doing the alphabet on my fingers and toes.
Depending on your state and local laws. I had to get a special permit to get them and have to pay a tax that’s roughly as much as a concealed carry permit tax.
Hello sir, thanks for your video. I would like to ask for some advices, while trying to repair one of my books which has a dust cover. I was thinking in send you some pictures, since the cover has a pretty unique, at least I think, damage, in order to you to advice me with the correct thing to do. Please let me know if I can contact you by email.
Trout in the classroom raises trout only to fry- about 1” long. Then the students release them in local streams. All sponsored by and under regulation of California Dept of Fish and Wildlife here. But it is a nationwide program.
In 2009 it cost $3000. It's a large pool. I did not get to photograph the preparation - they sandblasted the tiles clean and chipped out 4" below the tiles and around all the openings so the surface would be level at the edges. And it was a lot of hard- working men (they were all men.) Around here most of the hard working folks are Hispanic. (Try picking peaches in July.) This was a mixed crew, like many.
Yeah. I Don't know what I was smoking making that comment. Had our Michigan pool resurfaced with Pebble Tec at the end of last year. Pretty amazing performance from everyone on the crew - the guys were all specialists who did an outstanding job.
