Substances have been introduced which aid the lifting of deteriorated leather from tight backs, changes in the tanning and treatment of leather are proposed, new suppliers of materials have emerged and others have changed address, and new books and periodicals have appeared, so the text has been brought up to date to the best of the author's ability. Many restoration techniques are now dealt with in greater detail and a new chapter on the rebinding of antiquarian books, with information on the fitting of clasps, has been added, together with a section on the treatment of vellum bindings, in the hope of increasing the usefulness of the book. Details of very recent advances in the manufacture of longer-lasting leather and in the treatment of deteriorating leather have also been summarized."
