About the book >.>.> Books and documents are of immense value to historians as records of human achievement. They are also treasured by their owners for the contents the bindings and the beauty of the printed or written page. Yet their deterioration is inevitable and the process of ageing may be accelerated by neglect and chemical changes in the materials used in their manufacture. Here is a book which giving step-by-step instruction with the aid of diagrams provides all the information needed to combat such deterioration. Of particular interest are the techniques involving the repair and restoration of antiquarian books and the full details of up-to-date chemical treatments for the preservation of archives. A glossary of terms is included as are names and addresses of suppliers of repair materials and of schools conducting courses on book and paper conservation. This is a book that will be of enormous benefit to librarians booksellers collectors and all who have books in their care. (LL)
