A practical solution to B THEIR CARE AND REFAIR the problem of deteriorating b oo k sand dwindling budgetsOOKS With operating costs on the rise and budget allocations shrinking, the longevity of library materials has become more important than ever. BOOKS: THEIR CARE AND REPAIR is a how-to manual designed specifically for librarians and others who want to keep books, pamphlets, maps, documents, and other printed materials in optimum condition. Written by Jane Greenfield, an advisor on rare book conservation at the Yale University Library and a lec­ turer in bookbinding at the Yale School of Art and Architecture, this illustrated guidebook leads the practitioner through the entire range of book repairs. Explicit, step-by-step instruc­ tions explain the basic struc­ ture and maintenance of library materials, including: ■ causes of deterioration ■ fundamental repair tech­ niques— measuring, cutting, and pasting ■ paper mending ■ tip-ins and pockets ■ various types of pamphlet binding ■ hinge and joint repair ■ protective covers (wrap­ arounds and wrappers). The book also includes a glos­ sary of technical terminology, a list of recommended equipmen and expendable supplies, and t a list of suppliers of the materials called for in the instructions. Librarians and archivists at smaller institutions and all oth­ ers who face the problems of repairing and maintaining the varieties of printed material will find BOOKS: THEIR CARE AND REPAIR to be an immensely useful companion to practical book preservation.
