Customer Reviews

Excellent Book
The book is an essential reference source for anyone studying conservation. The book has very good case law references. The book however, is rather an expensive although excellent read. If you work in the conservation field or you are a conservation nut its a book well worth buying. If however, like me, you are a student on a tight budget you'll end up getting this book out of the uni library a few times.
