SUMMARY:Condition, Condition, Condition: How to Spot a Repair
DESCRIPTION:<p>Sponsor: <a href="https://www.abaa.org/event/speakers-and-programming">ABAA Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair</a></p><p><a href="https://stiltbookcradles.com/who-we-are"><strong>Natasha Herman</strong></a>&nbsp;| Proprietor, STILT® Book Cradle; Fellow, International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works<br>&nbsp;</p><hr><p><br>Like the humans who make them, books begin aging the moment they’re made. Some aging—like a rich patina—can be harmless or even beautiful, while other forms are more problematic. To understand a book’s condition, we first need to know how it falls apart. This talk will guide you on where and what to look for to read a book’s traces of repair. Together, we will uncover the hidden material histories of books, exploring what kinds of damage truly matter to us as collectors, caretakers, and readers.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
