A 'bible' of preservation for any owner, curator or dealer 
2007-03-06
If you buy antiques whether for resale or home use, you must also own or look at Care & Repair of Antiques & Collectibles: it's packed with over four hundred color illustrations and photos and provides hints from professional restorers and conservators on how to handle antiques, how to repair them, and how to maintain them. From repainting repaired ceramics and stripping and cleaning wooden collectibles from jewelry to furniture to cleaning textiles, this is a 'bible' of preservation for any owner, curator or dealer in antiques of all kinds - and a book many a general public lending library will also find useful.
Helpful reference for the layman or professional restorer.

Care and repair books are practical for everyone. Although some of the materials and techniques do become obsolete there is enough lasting information to have this book in anyones library. As a restorer I look for books like this one.
A good overview for the layman. 2001-02-28
I liked the scope of this book and the clear helpful illustrations. I found it very informative. It covers a wide range of antiques and collectibles. Good basic information for the average collector and general repairs.
