8vo (21 cm), 148 pp. Laminated boards. A practical, non-technical manual intended for collectors, book owners, and secondhand and antiquarian booksellers wishing to clean, maintain, and undertake minor repairs to their books, rather than for professional binders or conservators. The book covers the basic structure and components of a book; tools and supplies; sources of materials in the United States and United Kingdom; cleaning and repair techniques; and a useful "Dictionary of Problems & How to Deal with Them." Further sections address replacing flyleaves, maintaining a personal library, repairing books for institutional libraries, common practices to avoid, and the packing and mailing of books. Concludes with Further Reading and an index. A useful, practically oriented handbook of lasting value to booksellers and collectors for basic cleaning, minor repairs, preventive care, and the day-to-day handling of ordinary secondhand and antiquarian stock.
