This is the only Collections Care Reference Book saturated with technical data I've seen written by a museum specialist that's still understandable by everyone. The book is an exhibit of Collection Care and Staffing Best Practices with a specialist's narration guiding us through his decades of experience using illustrations and images straight from the profession. Great Job!
