Cleaning A Vintage - Four Square - Paperback Collection - Unintentional ASMR Book Repair!

Cleaning A Vintage - Four Square - Paperback Collection - Unintentional ASMR Book Repair!
In this video I clean a collection of about a hundred or so vintage Four Square paperbacks. These were in a real mixture of conditions and really needed the treatment. They are brushed along the top edges to remove dirt, internal marks are removed, spines re-glued where necessary then the covers are final given a polish.
I'm sure you'll agree they have come up fantastic!

Your collection and your cleaning and repair techniques are truly amazing, Jules!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Bob, some epic repair videos filmed this week! Look out for them soon🙂

[@hairylittlewombat]

Hi Jules, have you ever used un-du to remove stickers and sticky residue? It is an absolutely amazing product. It works incredibly well to remove really difficult stickers etc, without causing any damage to the book surface. I have used it for years and I've never damaged a cover. Really worth having a bottle in your cleaning kit.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks. I've not tried it but think I'm going to order some. On Amazon?

[@hairylittlewombat]

@@JulesBurt I'm in Australia and I get mine from our large hardware chain, but I'm sure Amazon would sell it. I'm sure you'll love using it.

Jules, great video as always, I love and collect early Four Square, but do you know why so many of them have warped or bowed spines? Could it be a binding defect? The ones without that problem are truly lovely copies. What do you think?

[@JulesBurt]

Hi Gary, yes, the printing is a bit suspect on early 4 Square books. I've upgraded quite a few recently, they are indeed very nice when in great shape 🙂👍

[@Democraps_are_narrow-minded]

How many paperback books are tgere in your collection? Also, do u buy the same title with different coverart?

[@JulesBurt]

I think about 10k, maybe more? Yes, I have some titles with multiple different editions and covers.

[@Democraps_are_narrow-minded]

@@JulesBurt i have more than 430 copies in my gamebook paperback collection... those in the 90s and some late 80s. Bloodsword is the collection i am most proud, followed by my Fighting Fantasy. In fact, i have 4 sets of Dragon Banner. I just need FF58 Revenge of the Vampire and a few titles to complete my 5th set (it will be a hybrid of all available covers)

[@Democraps_are_narrow-minded]

Wait.... 479 is the actual count. Most titles, i have duplicates or triplicates

[@JulesBurt]

Nice!

[@paulnorton3607]

Jules, are you a DVD/ BLU-RAY collector?

[@JulesBurt]

Not really. I have a collection of them but rarely buy any these days.
