Noticed my vintage cat photography book went from looking cool to looking sad over 5 years.
The pages yellowed way faster than I expected, and the binding started cracking just from sitting on my coffee table. I think the cheap glue and paper they used in the 70s is finally giving up - has anyone else had an older cat book fall apart on them?

Same thing happened with my 90s DVD collection, the cases just crumble.

Oh man, that's rough. It's like your cat book went from being a vintage treasure to a sad little pile of dust in slow motion. I guess 70s paper was basically glorified cardboard held together with hopes and dreams. Mine started shedding pages like a cat shedding fur, just little yellow flakes everywhere. Ever think about just framing the cover and calling it a day?
