The subtitle on this book is How to Care for and Preserve Your Collectibles, Heirlooms, and Other Prized Possessions. Did your child make you a macaroni necklace that you'd like to preserve? Do you own a priceless vase? You will get advice for preserving both.
The book is well-written. It contains clear and complete instructions for do-it-yourself preservation, along with advice on when the project is likely to be beyound a DIYer's abilities, and how to find a professional's help at that point. Although I keep this as a reference book, it's an easy read, and sometimes I pick it up to read through just for fun. ( )
