SUMMARY- This is a thoughtful and thorough book that provides a ton of great advice and examples of problems and what was used to solve them. The resources given alone are worth the price of admission, though after 30 years, I don't know how many of them are still in business. I was most delighted with the bibliography, of course, which gave me a lot of other material to pursue. As of this writing, the Quilt Restoration Society appears to still be in business. You can look up their mailing address and phone number in the online yellow pages.
