Should you polish the silver? Where is the best place to store the family Bible? What about the worn area in Aunt Alice's sampler? Should you try to repair the damage? Readers are provided answers to questions such as these, along with practical advice about how to care for the objects they value.

The conservators at Winterthur call on their many years of experience to address the types of problems that are commonly encountered.

The book presents a lucid approach to teaching the practical skills of conseravation - what to do and what not to do.
