Workshop: Conservation and repair of damaged books
Workshop in which we'll learn to look at books in order to understand their structure: case bound bindings, paperback, perfect bindings, with or without sewing, hard or soft covers, tight back or hollow spine. Only afterwards it is possible to make the proper diagnosis of damage, in order to proceed to the repair practice.

Conservation treatment: Reinforcement of the structure (loose covers, broken thongs). Cleaning of the binding, fixing the stuck lock and conservation treatment of further metallic elements (clasps and bosses). Dry cleaning of folios and tear mending.
