Abigail Bainbridge, a leading book conservator and director of Bainbridge Conservation, teams up with Sonja Schwolle, an expert in archival binding and head of treatment development at The National Archives UK. They dive into their comprehensive work, Conservation of Books, discussing global book structures and the ethics of conservation. Key topics include the significance of decision-making processes, the balance between preventive care and practical conservation, and the concept of the 'social book,' advocating for preserving items for their intended use.
