BAKER, JOHN P./MARGUERITE C. SOROKA [ED.]. — Library Conservation. Preservation in Perspective.

Stroudburg, Dowden, Hutchingon & Ross Inc. 1978. Original publisher's green paper-covered boards, black lettering spine, green dustjacket, thick large 8vo: xvi, 460pp., 34 contributions with notes & references, index. Very fine copy. This volume traces the continuing effort to prevent the gradual disintegration and total loss of treasured research collections, acquired at great expence, but often issued on low quality paper and frequently stored without sufficient concern for environmental controls.
