The conservation of skin, leather and related materials is an area
that, until now, has had little representation by the written word
in book form. Marion Kite and Roy Thomson, of the Leather
Conservation Centre, have prepared a text which is both
authoritative and comprehensive, including contributions from the
leading specialists in their fields, such as Betty Haines, Mary Lou
Florian, Ester Cameron and Jim Spriggs. The book covers all aspects
of Skin and Leather preservation, from Cuir Bouillie to
Bookbindings. There is significant discussion of the technical and
chemical elements necessary in conservation, meaning that
professional conservators will find the book a vital part of their
collection. As part of the Butterworth-Heinemann Black series, the
book carries the stamp of approval of the leading figures in the
world of Conservation and Museology, and as such it is the only
publication available on the topic carrying this immediate mark of
authority.
