What can I do if a hardcover book of mine has a damaged dust jacket? Other than just buying a new one lol.
>>25619917Make your own new dust jacket.
>>25619917Steam it. Crumple it into a highly compressed ball and then carefully uncrease it again. Spray it down with glue and shine it up with wiping it down with a damp microfiber cloth and a second pass with isopropyl alcohol, and a third pass with a water moistened towel, stick it into the freezer overnight and then iron it out the next morning on an ironing board. Kiss it and dribble some holy water on it. Teach it your innermost secrets and darkest desires, and leave it out in the sun for three days. Flatten it beneath the cylinder of a steam roller, and then hire it out to a professional painting restorationist in Europe. Smear the damaged parts with the blood of an arctic polar bear slain with your own bare hands in hand to hand combat and then clean the blood using isopropyl alcohol. Introduce it to the society of other damaged dust jackets, and let it share its burdens with them and with a discarded banana peel. Send it to a desert island with three copies of its own book with pristine dust jackets, and after seven years sail out to it in a boat made of papyrus weeds and after you do this it will be in mint condition again.
