Doing a little therapeutic book restoration today. I recently bought a complete 5-volume 1766 set of the "Arabian Nights." Super early, and super cheap because they needed serious help.
Here's one nearing completion (right, with facsimile labels restored), next to one still waiting its turn.

I can practically feel that book smiling through the photo. 🥰
The pages of this set are fantastic. Pre-industrial-era paper is incredible, it can stay bright & supple for hundreds of years. Even when the covers turn to dust.
