This week we found another example of modesty flaps added by a reader or previous owner. This time on a paperback copy of The selected poems of Frank O’Hara. They’ve also added a laminate book cover over the bandage to seal it in place.
We do not recommend using bandaids on library materials. You can already see how poorly the adhesive is aging as it migrates from edges and holes in the bandage. Please choose high quality, chemically stable materials and adhesives for your modestly flaps.
