pyewackett said Excellent resource for collectors of all kinds of objects, not just art.. "First aid for art" is an incredibly useful and informative book. It isn't just for artists and collectors of art. Instructions are provided for emergency damage control and restoration techniques for all kinds of collections; books, paper, parchment, botany specimens, electronic media such as CDs, DVDs, and cassette tapes, furniture, paintings, paleontology specimens, photographs, sculpture and other art objects, skulls and skeletons, study skins, and textiles. There are two appendixes and an extensive list of useful web sites. The last section contains short biographies of the contributing authors and their credentials. The . enhob said Don't waste your money. This book is a total loser. Lot's of filler (half blank pages, cover pages, etc.) and very little useful information. It's not bound like a professional book. It's held together with a spiral, like a note book. The advice they give? Things like How to clean a dirty painting? This book tells you to take it to a conservator. Or things you need for first aid for art? A pencil, paper and a flashlight. Really!. One Star VelWil Too vague. My definition of 'art' differs from this author.
