I've come to possess an original addition of J. Fenimore Cooper's 1839 work, The History of the Navy of the United States of America. It looks really interesting and I'd like to read it. The problem is, the bindings of the two volume set are shot and I don't want to destroy the books in the process of trying to enjoy them. There are companies out there that can do the repair work, but it won't come cheap.
The question I have is whether or not it's worth it to try an preserve them? There's some sentimental and personal value to this, but we all have our limits. Thanks in advance for any insight.
