COMIC BOOK CPR: SECOND EDITION
Comic Book CPR: Second Edition is a 250-page full color illustrated guidebook featuring pictorials and detailed procedures for cleaning and pressing comic books. Written by Michael Frederik Sorensen and Gregory Defoor, this all-new version of the previous title features a radically different way of pressing comic books safely and reliably, with consistent results every time. Say goodbye to wavy oversaturated books! You will no longer place comic books inside a humidity tank. Learn about underlay sheets and how to utilize them for maximum pressing potential with guaranteed results. The new three step pressing procedure is the core pressing method now with several variables to choose from. Books that were traditionally thought to be a "lost cause" are now possible in this new edition of Comic Book CPR. Subscription creased comics, polybagged comics, holofoil comics, thick embossed cardstock cover comics, and oversaturated heavily rippled comics are now easily pressed without a concern. This new edition features an updated Flow Chart and Inspection Forms to guide you through the new procedures. Learn the importance of your pressing room environment, and how it impacts reversion. This book is guaranteed to help you produce flat straight edges every time. PRESS ON!
