He is handling the pages just fine. The book wouldn't be worth its weight in salt if it could not withstand such normal treatment. Books are meant to be flipped through with bare hands and not with gloves or forceps!
He is handling it fine: there is the snooty librarian approach of the white gloves and get a endorsement from god to look at it, and there is the antiquarian; wash and dry hands and use it like it was intended approach. I favor the later. Librarians put awful stamps on the cover page and markings throughout. then ask us to wear white gloves out of Librarian Guilt

This book belongs in a museum. I hope the buyer donates this book to a museum to be put on display and shared with the public. Unless you bought this yourself and therefore have money invested, I think it is horrible that you are trying to profit off of it instead of donating it to a museum. Maybe the Smithsonian?
Who are the dumb asses???The book is not on paper right and supposed to last another 500 years. They used to print in animal hide thus vellum. How many things did we destroy in Iraq these past decade. Talk about dumb asses.
Wow, this clueless old clown has no idea how to handle a rare document?! Hey ken, if you want to make your book appear valuable in a '4 sale video', treat it like it's valuable!!! Don't treat it like last Sundays copy of The Salt Lake City News!!! It's hard to watch him flipping through rare 520 year old sheets of cotton paper with his oily old hands. And the way he opens the book?!?! By digging his yellow finger nail into the leather covers edge! Ughhh. Maybe he did this on purpose? Hmmmm...
I'd never ever buy from this man. He has no fuckin idea how to handle an artifact made of paper. He's thumbing and flipping through it like a regular newly printed book. No wonder all the pages have left the binding. Why are they letting a clown like this handle an expensive historic artifact is beyond me.
Sorry for being harsh old man. But this is just inexcusable.
Some kids I know treat their COMICBOOKS better. Perhaps he's jaded and seen stuff that's SO much older that he's a little careless with something ONLY worth $50,000. Hmph.
i understand that the pages and the book in general are probably not going to be messed up a great deal, but look at him man handling them. i mean, seriously dude? lay off with the touching a bit ffs.

@JogBird LOL!
My thoughts exactly! Shouldn't he be wearing gloves?
Looks like more people here know how to handle an ancient book better than this guy does...
