Does pressing help or hurt a book with pages that appear somewhat brittle....

That's what I was thinking. Seems like heat would not be a good thing....

Thanks,

Correct - pressing is not a catch all solution. I've seen alot of books come back much worse after a press. 

Work with  a good pro with a proven track record where you can ask questions in advance.

Brittle pages and pressing do not go together.

Yes, that seems to be the consensus.... I ended up going a different route.... That guy in the upper left corner. That was the one I was thinking about submitting. In actuality, I had planned on submitting a while back, but embarrassingly, I sent the wrong one in.... which ended up getting clobbered as far as a grade goes.... At any rate, I took another look at it and decided to leave it as is....

Those are some great Stiltman books - love the #8 even if it has brittle pages. Good stuff!

Thanks. Much more enjoyable this way as I have no plans to sell anytime soon. If and when, maybe i'll consider getting them graded. As a kid, I must of read that 67 a million times.... I believed....

Wow, that's a super cool display, very cool to see someone dedicated to Stilt Man.

Thanks. My childhood grabs.... I'm surprised 67 is in as good a condition as its in considering how many times I read it...
