    Clearing out my grandparents house I have found a box of magazines from the 1940s not in great condition, they can be read but the staples have all rusted. Can these be saved?

    You need to carefully remove staples to stop things getting any worse but the damage is irreversible. Are they anything special?

    They re old racing magazines but seems a shame to dump them after more than 60 years

    You could look at having them bound professionally. It's a good way of storing them together in years/months/weeks. It won't be cheap but it will look good.

    Google 'Book Binders' near you.
