Great video Nick I was wondering if you've ever heard of applying a dry ice to the surface of the tape before removal? I heard that neutralizes the adhesive

Thanks for sharing a great trick like that. I have some books with tape I always wanted to remove but was scared of completely butchering the book. I'm going to be very careful and give it a go now.

get a sharp razor, use some tapes on a blank piece of paper, better yet a newspaper (because newspapers are more fragile) and test things out. That was how I started out...once you are confident in how to use the blade, then proceed :)

How would you remove glue from the spine and staples?

You are like a doctor, Nick, using your surgical tool to give new life to a book. That takes a lot of patience, more than I have.

In another life, I would love to be a conservator working for the Libray of Congress to restore and preserve historic documents....love this kind of works. My pass time fun for many years now is reading up on paper restorations and conservations...all kind of things most people that care to learn to press should know before blindly pressing books like a cuban sandwich.

I have a Marvel Super Heroes 18 that has tape just on the corners I’d like to get off. Since it’s not silver age do you recommend a compound to use to lift tape? Thanks. Great job btw.

hard to say to be honest....I only recommend removing tape if you can do with minimal damage to the book.
