  abstract: Conservation of Books is the highly-anticipated reference work on global book structures and their conservation, offering the first modern, comprehensive overview on this subject. The volume takes an international approach to its subject. Written by over seventy specialists in conservation and conservation science based in nineteen countries, its twenty-six chapters cover traditional book structures from around the world, the materials from which they are made and how they degrade and how to preserve and conserve them. It also examines the theoretical underpinnings of conservation, what and how to treat, and the ethical, cultural and economic implications of treatment. Technical drawings and photographs illustrate the structures and treatments examined throughout the book. Ultimately, readers gain an in-depth understanding of the materiality of books in numerous global contexts and reflect on the practical considerations involved in their analysis and treatment. Conservation of Books is a quintessential reference work for book conservators and anyone working with books, such as collection managers, librarians, curators, dealers, collectors, historians and related professionals. It is also an indispensable text for students to complement hands-on training in this field.
