I recently bought a copy of the 1902 Encyclopedia Britannica
(with New American Supplement).  Even though I bought it in dry
New Mexico, it is beginning to show its age: covers are mildewed
and bindings are falling apart.
   - Can anyone tell me how I can prevent it from getting worse?
   - What kind of rebinding is best for old, not particularly valuable, books?
   - How much should I expect to pay to have a volume rebound?
Can anyone give me a reference for a short history of the Britannica itself?

Thanks in advance,
