What is the difference between repair, restoration and conservation?
Repairs include those items that are necessary to return the book to readable condition. Things like torn page mending, reattaching covers, strengthening cover corners and reattaching sections of text are common repairs. Restoration includes repair and adds choices such as cleaning leather covers and restoring their luster, applying dye to leather covers with scuff marks or scratches, creating new covers or spines and resewing bindings.
