Abstract

The two week course at the American Academy of Bookbinding at Telluride, Colorado was extremely enlightening and crucial to my study of the conservation of pre-nineteenth century books and papers. Armed with research and four books in need of treatment I attended the course entitled “Book Conservation: Treatment of textblocks and Sewing” from April 30 to May 11. The research I had done before the course was helpful and seemed to mesh well with the theory and technique taught by Don Etherington. In Colorado I learned crucial information about disbinding and washing, mending and guarding, and sewing structures for each book.
