Have you ever wondered whether the assortment of books you have at home is a ‘collection’? Do you want to reorganize it? Expand it?

Help is on hand with treating accidental mishaps and a range of common problems afflicting books, whether an attack of red rot or a broken spine. There are also chapters on shelving, how to keep track of your books, how to commission a special box for a special book and how to pass books on usefully. An indispensable resource for anyone who cherishes books.
