Omnibus Spine Stretching - My Technique - How to Stretch the Spine on a Stubborn Book

Apologies for the bad lighting in this video!

In this video I share a technique that I use for stretching the spine on large omnibus books with sewn bindings, which is especially useful for the heavily glued DC omnibuses.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damage that occurs if you decide to try and emulate my method! I have provided this video to showcase how I get the spines on my DC books to be more flexible. This is not a method I would encourage since I do not know the overall long term effects on the books, I only know that I myself have had no problems so far.
I do this for my own books because I acknowledge the fact that any damage is my own fault, and have weighed up the risk accordingly. Not all books require this amount of work or stretching. Some books are more delicate than others, and I would always treat each book individually with the appropriate amount of work/pressure/stretching for that particular book.
If in doubt, leave the book alone and hope that it wears in over time from multiple re-reads!
