Dust will collect on book in your bookshelf over time. Avoid this by dusting your books at least once every couple of months. Use a clean cloth, feather duster, or vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove buildup and keep your books tidy. Always dust your book from the spine outward to prevent dust from collecting in the spine. Regular adhesive tape, which is available in most stores, should not be used to repair damages to your book. This type of tape is pressure-sensitive and it can cause more damage to your books over time. Adhesive notes and stickers should also be kept away from your book. Purchase a clear book jacket online or in a book store to place around your book's cover. The cover should be made of archival material and fit the book without any attachment required. This option is especially important if you want to transport your book and worry about damaging it in the process. If you wish to fix a rare and valuable book, ask for information at your local library. A librarian may be able to give you the name of a local conservator who can restore your book. Get in contact with the conservator and discuss their rates (which will vary) before hiring them to fix your book.

One-sentence summary -- Dust your book every month or two. Avoid repairing torn pages with tape. Place a protective cover on your book. Hire a conservator to repair an older, more valuable book.

Q: your hair, if needed. Food coloring is translucent. This means that it only adds to whatever color is already there. If you have dark hair, the dye may not show up at all. If you have light brown or brown hair, the dye will turn out darker. If having a darker tint does not bother you, then you can skip this step. Be aware that blue may turn out greenish on blond hair, and brownish on brassy hair. If this bothers you, tone your hair to a more neutral color. Find a place that is easy to clean, such as a kitchen or bathroom. If the area is carpeted or hard to clean, spread some newspaper or a large, plastic sheet over the floor. Have all of your supplies laid out and ready. If you don't have any old clothes that you don't mind ruining, put on a dark colored shirt instead. It would also be a good idea to wrap a hair dyeing smock or an old towel around your shoulders. If you want, you can buy a nylon cape, like the kind used in salons, from a beauty store. This will protect your clothing. You will need enough conditioner to cover your hair, at least 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters). Avoid using colored conditioner, as it might affect the color of the dye. You can try a white-colored hair cream or gel. For a permanent option, use 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of developer instead. How much you use depends on how dark you want the color to be; the more food coloring you use, the deeper the color will be. Keep in mind that the color will turn out lighter than what's in the bowl. Be sure to use regular liquid or gel food coloring; do not use vegetable-based dyes as they won't adhere to your hair. For a permanent option, mix 1 tablespoon of food coloring into the developer. If you lightened your hair earlier, you may be left with yellow or brassy tones. This may affect the outcome of your dye job. If you have yellow or brassy tints in your hair, add some purple or blue to your dye to cancel out the unwanted color. You can also mix up a separate pale blue (for brassy tints) or pale purple (for yellow tints) dye, and use that in your hair first. After you wash and dry your hair, you can dye it the color you want.
