"How to produce a commercial-looking book and avoid all the common pitfalls"--Cover.

The 2nd edition of The Care of Prints and Drawings provides practical, straightforward advice to those responsible for the preservation of works on paper, ranging from curators, facility managers, conservators, registrars, collection care specialists, private collectors, artists, or students of museum studies, visual arts, art history, or conservation. A greater emphasis is placed on preventive conservation, a trend among collecting institutions, which reflects the growing recognition that scarce resources are best expended on preventing deterioration, rather than on less effective measures of reversing it.

First Published in 1997. This book documents a highly significant development in the history of costing practice in the UK - the uniform costing system designed for the members of the British Federation of Master Printers (BFMP) during the early twentieth century.
