Excerpt from A Lecture the Dry Rot: And on the Most, Effectual Means of Preventing It; Delivered Before the Institute of British Architects, April 3, 1837

The other kinds of decay to which timber is liable are termed the common rot, and the dry ret.

The former, Sir John Barrow considers to be occasioned by alternate exposure to the vicissitudes of the weather, - to moisture and dryness, and to heat and cold,-hence, frequent at the point where a pile is between wind and water, or where a beam enters a wall: in the latter case, the progress is from without inwards. (supplement 'to Ency. Brit, dry bot.) As the causes here are extrinsic, protecting the wood against them is often sufficient; for this pur pose painting, coating with tar, &c., are had recourse to.

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
