Love the editing in your videos, even in simpler videos like this. The previous work summaries, the close-ups on the cotton rounds, the vertical pans, the zoom outs to see the bigger picture. All very professional looking. It really sets your channel apart.

Thank you Adrift! I put quite a bit of energy into videography and editing, and i hope it shows. Plan to upgrade my camera next month, looking forward to being able to zoom in even tighter when necessary without loosing sharp details.

Thanks for the video, Dr. Paul. Since getting back into the hobby a couple of years ago, I've been cleaning and pressing my original owner collection from the 1980s. I never use gloves either, *except* for some indie publisher comics (Pacific, First, etc.) that are very susceptible to fingerprints, even if I've just freshly washed my hands. But I hate having to put them on as I feel clumsier and more likely to damage the book.

Spot on with how I feel as well, and I’ve had many jobs in biotech and in the clinic, including performing delicate surgeries, in which I’ve had plenty of time to get used to wearing gloves. They are generally just too grabby for comic book paper.

I like to prep for some book cleaning by just putting on some alcoholic hand disinfectant: oils are minimised, nice and dry. Nothing replaces hand feel. I've looked at videos of conservationists in museums and they use bare hands - and I always take my advice from them. Such great advice about looking at the tip of the eraser - it will show you what's happening! another tip for viewers: look at the pressure that being applied to the edge when cleaning at the 8:10 point. I personally use a board to press down on the book, but the point is, the edge is dangerous and need to be tensioned to be safely cleaned

Great info….. I also wear gloves on modern only. I want to feel the paper and possibly anything on or under the cover. But, got to admit I learned this from you.

I never used gloves, never felt like i should when handling a comic. You might miss the subtle feel of catching a corner or something, or otherwise sticking to it.

@@BigMoneyGripMCV that is exactly what the Library of Congress and other conservation institutions discovered-gloves lead to more damage due to inability of the conservator to get tactile feedback while working with documents!

The people who say "wear gloves" are probably wearing gloves to type on a keyboard too.
