A very interesting read for anyone who wants to do some deeper research into storing and maintaining a textile collection. Since this is clearly meant to be research literature for people studying conservation/ textile conservation/ collection management, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an easy read. For anyone who is looking for some in-depth information on the subject of textile conservation, this is the perfect book.
