American Library Association, Chicago, 1976. Soft cover. Condition: Very Good+. Second Printing. Large trade paperback. 201pp., Selected Reading, Index. Illustrated with 93 drawings by Aldren A. Watson. First edition, second printing [with corrections]. A title in the Conservation of Library Materials series. This is the "first work, in English at least, which describes the techniques of restoring leather bindings in suffient detail that it can be considered a textbook or manual; that is so that it will be useful not only to those who are already engaged in the practice of book restoration, but also to those who have no present knowledge or training, and are perhaps approacching the subject for the first time."
