The Restoration of Books after the flood
Here is a really interesting resource - a video on the restoration of books immediately after the flood:
Originally produced by the Royal College of Art, London, 1968.
Book conservators begin to restore the many books damaged by the devastating flood in Florence, Italy in 1966. Peter Waters covers a book in leather. Christopher Clarkson makes a velum binding.
This video is made available from the University of Utah. Hat tip to PhiloBiblos
