Reviews

'We found this a welcome addition to our books on ceramic restoration and conservation as it is some years since an authoritative book has been published. It is impressive, comprehensive and well-illustrated ... It immediately proved to be a useful reference book for our workshop - both to check procedures and as a reminder for alternative methods.' Shella de Cort and Gina Kelland, private restorers - Conservation News, July 1994. 'This book does not teach 'conservation by numbers', but for trainees or practising conservators wishing to refresh knowledge, or solve a problem, this is a treasure house.' Susan Bradley, Head of Conservation Research, British Museum, Museums Journal, August 1994 - Museums Journal, August 1994. 'the fundamental principles and processes will remain usable for many years, making this an excellent reference book.' Studies in Conservation, February 1995 - Studies in Conservation, February 1995. 'It is a good investment for those involved with ceramics.' Conservation News '...a thorough and comprehensive review...' New Heritage Magazine
