I have a lot of $2-3 books that have this full length fold towards the spine. If not for this these books would be NM 9.2 range. I know a pressing will take it out but I dont wanna spend $10-20 on a $2 book.

Any DIY solutions for this?

 

PS- And what is this defect called? Its not really a spine roll because the spine is actually fine. and Its not a crease by my definition...

Not recommending or advising or anything as that can get people in hot water but I have flattened such by putting in bags and boards, stacking, and putting 50 pounds of books over them fold side down for 6 mo.

I mean it's worth a shot if you don't want to spend money, those are pretty serious spine rolls, I guess if I had 6 months and 50 pounds of books lol

I have neither, melty face!

Technically I dont think this is spine roll but some book curvature or something.  Actual spine roll is right at the spine.

Totally agree with @kav (thumbsu

put a big hardcover book on top of a reversed small stack of problematic books ( with heavy backboards ) then put a box or two of comics on top. Could be better in a month, or two...or a year depending on degree of bend. :wishluck:

Doesn't spine rolls come from folding the pages back to read? I guess it would depend on where you did the "fold" when pulling it back behind, idk, I'd still call it spine roll but I'm not an expert :)

No because the roll is in the wrong direction.  If I had to guess I would say it comes from stacking poorly then humidity and heat.

Unfortunately looks like the color breaks on some of the creases, however pictures are deceiving, and could just be a flash hitting the crease. :wishluck: 

however the bends do not look to extreme to flatten. ( Page color, and possible minor rusting to staples may be another problem?)  :foryou:
