Used by a LOT of bookish folk as a scratch cover this shoe ‘cream’ not polish is quite useful. Comes in a variety of colors of which half are browns. I find it works best after the leather has been treated with a cleaned like Lexol-ph or moisturized with leather dressing. pH value = 7-8

from “Bringing New Life to Tired Tomes” by Robert
Colver (O.P. World magazine March 1998)
“Not shoe polish generically, but Meltonian by name. It already has a devout following among booksellers and an equally devout, if more clandestine, following among book repairers. Its advantages are many: It’s readily available at most good shoe-repair shops. It comes in an absolute palette of colors .There are a dozen or so variations on brown) which can even be mixed and blended like acrylic paints. It’s cheap and easy to use. It masks scuffs and evens out color without hiding old marbling pattens or grain patterns. It’s not a wax and leaves no sticky surface. From a conservation standpoint, it’s basically chemically benign. Not only is it not acidic, it’s slightly basic, which means it is actually buffering the leather.”

directions: Squeeze the pad and sprinkle the particles over the surface to be cleaned, then roll them around like bread crumbs under your fingers. Once they have bonded with the dirt, you can blow or brush them off and continue to a different area.

“Using these 100% horsehair brushes makes the dreary task of dusting and cleaning stacks of books a breeze”. Rachel @ www.oldsaratogabooks.com
“These are wonderful, esp. the little round one that gets into the curve of the spine. Thanks!” – Lindig Harris @ Lin Dig Books, Asheville, NC.
“Bought those lovely brushes from godsey a couple of weeks ago…not sure why, they looked yummy. They ARE yummy. . . . hauled home about 45 cartons
of books — hadn’t been dusted when on the shelves, had been stored here and there, then in a storage unit, then a garage…DUST!! Spent the whole day in the front yard dusting….tops, “rough-cut” edges, leather embossed bindings – you’d be amazed how much dust is in even clean-looking cloth. Life-savers, those brushed. Big one for surfaces, little one gets close to spine etc. THANKS GODSEY!!!” Lee Kirk @ The Prints & The Paper
