This manual contain suggestions partly gathered from the experience of others and partly evolved for myself in caring for my own books. Although many "books about books" have already been written, there is still, I think, a place for this one. I have designed it especially for the bibliophile who enjoys "fussing" over his books and who receives, in seeing them in good condition and repair through his own efforts, an echo of the pleasure he receives from reading them.
