Buster Brown Before Treatment
The first is Buster Brown, a strip chronicling the adventures of a naughty young boy from a wealthy family growing up in New York City. The strips feature the predicaments Buster Brown finds himself in and the strip ends the moral that Buster finds at the end of each adventure.
The second strip is Little Nemo in Slumberland, a surreal strip depicting the fantastical dreams of a little boy named Nemo. The images depict peacock drawn carriages, rabbits hatching out of eggs and giants. At the end of each strip Nemo awakens before danger befalls him.

The books are both staple bound with very little of the original covers remaining. The paper is brittle and there is loss around the edges and at the staple edge due to stress. The original binding obscured the edge of the strips and caused breakage at this stress point. The challenge is to rebind the books so that they open flat and retain as much of the original covers as possible.
