REVIEWS
"This book fills an important void in the bibliography of music librarianship. Carli...has produced a manual that will be used on a daily basis in music libraries everywhere....The author has produced a manual that offers practical, hands-on advice that will be useful not only for the novice, but also for more experienced conservators....This is a volume that has long been needed. Even the most experienced libraries or librarians will find new ideas....There can be no disagreement that, in producing this volume, Carli has done a great service, not only to the music library community, but also to the larger community of anyone dealing with the binding and care of music. Should your library purchase this volume? Definitely. In fact for many music libraries I would suggest two copies: one for the stacks and a second for the workroom where it will be heavily used."

DESCRIPTION
Music scores have always presented unique problems to those charged with their care and preservation. The author's goal throughout this book is to present practices developed to balance cost-effectiveness with archival soundness for binding and preserving musical scores.
This is a necessary reference for music librarians and composers who want to gain both specific skills and new perspectives on the central issues of binding and care.
