Alphabetical List of Textile Conservation Books
Published 2005-2008

Digital Copy of List in .pdf

 

Here is a list of books you might like to be given on your birthday. All you have to do is circle your favorite(s) and pass the list to your friends or librarian! We would like to include Textile Conservation titles every year. Please help us prepare next year’s selections—we would especially like to include titles in foreign languages that might not get press otherwise. Enjoy!
