Omschrijving
This highly-anticipated reference work on global book structures and their conservation offers the first modern, comprehensive overview on this subject and examines the theoretical underpinnings of book conservation. A quintessential reference work for book conservators, students, and anyone working with books.
"Encompassing both practical instruction and subject theory, this is the first comprehensive volume on book conservation and structures with a global approach. Bainbridge is a book conservator and educator and for this volume she gathered 26 essays from more than 70 experts in the field... This first-of-its-kind publication will be a must-have resource for those in studying or involved in conservation, bookbinding, or the history of the book, and it will also be useful in allied fields, for example, art history, where knowledge of book history, materiality, and construction is valuable. Summing Up: Essential. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals." -- A. Verplaetse, Public Art Archive, CHOICE March 2024.
