No way you think green is only a color, lmao.

Take pictures of every page before you touch anything else, lol. Then hit up your local historical society, but be ready for some pushback if it messes with the town's favorite story. Make digital copies before you let anyone else hold that thing, trust me. It's wild how often the real story gets buried under the simpler version people want to believe.

Yeah but "makes your work take forever" is better than rushing and having to redo it all. A little patience saves a ton of time later.
