The editors, both from the Leather Conservation Centre, have prepared a comprehensive text which includes contributions from the leading specialists in their fields. The book covers all aspects of skin and leather preservation, from Cuir Bouillie to bookbindings. There is discussion of the technical and chemical elements necessary in conservation, meaning that professional conservators should find the book a useful part of their collection. A wide range of areas is covered, including fish and reptiles, taxidermy and furs and the technical aspects of conservation are discussed in full.
