Treasures on Earth by Peter Burman
Explains the techniques and artistry involved in caring for the fabric and contents of churches. It considers the problems of cleaning and repair, and the damage that can be done by over-zealous non-specialists.
Altogether this book makes a really valuable contribution to the better care and appreciation of church treasures SPAB News The weight of sound practical advice contained in this volume should make it compulsory reading for every churchwarden and PCC member in the land Context
