8/08 GOD GIVEN MAJESTY what super title for the Wars of the Roses History Plays looked at from Divine Point of view

Just got a new premium bible with leather binding - same procedure recommended? or something else?

It takes her two minutes to get to the point !

Hello fellow polyglot, subscribed! I just joined the community too...two days ago lol

I assume if a new book already comes with a flexible spine that can open comfortably wide, it's not necessary to do this?

14:38 Jumpscare I studied English literature and linguistics, and I was kinda bummed out when we didn't see any histories for my Shakespeare class, so I read Richard II and Richard III on my own. I just jumped into them without much explanation so, although I liked them, I didn't really get much from them. Now I want to read all of the histories and this video gave me reaassurance on the decision to read them in historical order, so I'm quite excited about it. Good video and good bird!

Thankyou I got book from a friend as a gift, now I can read it and keep it for far longer since the spine wont break down as easily

❤

i'm the weird psycho that actually likes it when the spines are cracked, i feel it makes the book more loved haha. although i do hate when you try to close a paperback and the top cover stays open slightly. so annoying!

I have a paperback 1995 Anne of Green Gables set. Books 2-7 were in mint condition and had never been read, so they were stiff. I was frustrated because I had cracked the spine of book 2, so I went looking for a solution. I tried this method on book 3 and I was amazed at how well it worked. I did it three or four times very carefully. I was worried it would do a number on the stiff 30-year-old glue, but it surprisingly didn’t. I am so relieved. I’m still irritated by the cracked book 2 spine, but when you think about it, I would have cracked countless more spines if I hadn’t cracked that spine and gone looking for a solution! Thank you for this video.

Aside from the hyperbole about the million editions, this was an enjoyable video to watch. It took me entirely too long to get into Shakespeare, and when I did, I saved the histories until last, for many of the reasons you explained. I fin myself going back to the histories more than the tragedies and comedies (and romance/problem plays). I really enjoyed your take on the editions. In my experience, I would say Folgers is closer to undergrad level, where as No Fear Shakespeare is high school. Hope all is well with you and Chicklet (and any other pets you may have).

What if the books aren’t new? Would it still work on older paperbacks?

Can you suggest me the Book which I should read to care of Books in Library.

they should teach this in school, i don't know how i managed to live 20 years without knowing it. anyway you have beautiful hands

Yeah this method didn’t work, now there’s a long visible crease along the side of my book, same thing as reading it normally, if not worse

Just the video I was looking for!! Thank you so much, this was a huge help!

I’ve seen other videos where people take a few pages from both sides and push down instead of one side at a time like you’ve done here. Does it matter if you’re doing one side at a time compared to both ?

How would you do this with thick comic books? I have a the walking dead compendium of 1000 pages and I don't want to get spoiled while breaking in the book

Wow!!! This worked like magic

Wow! 5 languages :-) awesome ! ....... Luke 21;36 kjv

Thanks !

how would i stop the front/back cover on a soft back book from bending

Just read Richard II this week and fell in love! I’ve read a lot of Shakespeare but not any of his historical plays, and I’m so excited to delve into more of them!! Loved this video!

5 minutes to explain a 30 second procedure 🤣

If you're here from YAMS zine ... Hi :3

Thank you for this video. I just ordered myself like 30 books (16 of them have arrived already) and I've done this to a few of them and it helps me hold them without causing pain in my hand.

Thanks for making this video. It is very helpful.

I didn't know that about the paper yellowing, I thought thought it was something that happened over time, like from the air or the oils on skin degrading it. Very interesting and cool to know. I have a fair number of vintage and older books (about 20 from the 1800s and more from the mid-early 20th century and 80s/90s that are old library or well circulated books) and they are all yellowed like this, but they also have a rougher texture to begin with, not that smooth satiny texture a lot of cheap prints have nowadays. I think those ones are actually from age and less from the acidity. It's getting more difficult to find nice thick, creamy pages that feel buttery smooth in books these days unless you buy a good quality hardcover. I often opt for it evwn though it's so much more expensive and space consuming because I really dislike the feel and look of those almost slimey gray cheap pages. Thinking about it now I realize they remind me of a tablet or computer/e-reader screen with their colours and texture and I don't like it, I want that tactile experience and the darker, more off-white pages strain my eyes less. Even e-books are getting those colour schemes and using awful fonts now, so I always have my blue light filter on to yellow the pages and change the settings within the software if I can.

I have ruined a lot of my paperbacks, but it's an evidence that I read them lol But now I kinda regret it, I'm going to he more careful with my new books from now on

thank you

thank you!

My biggest tip: Watch _The Hollow Crown_ first! It is amazing. Goes from Richard II to the Henriad then to the Wars of Roses ending with Richard III. Some parts of Henry VI are cut but it is very faithful otherwise. (Edit) Oh wait she said that! Should have waited until the end before commenting! 😅

Yo this might be a dumb question but does leaving a bookmark in the book have any effect on creasing or other possible damage

Polar exploration history is some of my favorite stuff. Glad to see others reading it.

Worked famously, thank you!

helpful. thank you1

Thanks this is a great overview on a subject it seems hard to find much about unless one wants to write a thesis on it.

Hello i just wanted to say this helped me so much. I always struggled with reading since i hate seeing broken spines. Furthermore i used this on my school text books that always ended up falling apart!! It has worked amazingly thank you so much!!

I love hearing people talk about books

It helped a lot Thank you

This is amazing! I'll try it right now. Thank you

i was doing it all wrong and too rough, thx for your time with video tutorial.

Thanks for this! Very concise and straightforward. Easier than I anticipated. Are there differences in binding qualities that tend to crease more than others? Or is this applicable to all paperbacks for the most part?

Thanks! 📕

I weirdly like the slight yellowing on the edges of the pages for some reason. I think it looks cool. It also makes the paper feel softer somehow to me? Idk lol I'm weird

Can you do this on books that aren't brand new as well?

1:28 I hear ya sister

This was actually very useful! I'll try it next time I start a paperback!

Oh how funny, I just bought these same books.
