This review is from: Conserv Concerns Pb (Paperback)
The book, Conservation Concerns, is not a large publication, but I found every page had advice, help, and examples of how to conserve historic artifacts. Included are recommendations on construction materials, storage of works, care of photographs and what to do if items are damaged. Textile and metal conservation is discussed. A detailed appendix is included with references to sources mentioned in the text and a reading list. I am very pleased with the purchase.
