Howdy folks,
I have no idea if this is the proper forum to post this, but I'm considering buying a book from 1905 that has transparent tape across a pair of pages, which I assume means closer tears. Though the paper used in those days is made of sterner stuff (thick rag paper), any of you have a method of safely removing the transparent tape without damaging the pages?
I can solve the binding issues of the book easily, and seal any tear, but as one doesn't run into transparent tape in old books much, I am hopeful one of you folks can help me.
