At a workshop on conserving antiques given by conservators, this book was recommended as "one of the few reliable texts widely available." Their booklet describes the book: "Simple, easy to understand book on furniture care and simple treatments."
Written as a guide for museum conservators by a conservator. Presents excellent practical information and presents a code of ethics. Anyone who owns, cares for or commercially works on antiques should read McGiffin's work.
This is by far the best book on conservation i have ever read
