Book restoration is the process of repairing and preserving old or damaged books to ensure their longevity and usability. This can involve fixing torn pages, reattaching covers, and cleaning the book to remove dirt and stains. The goal is to maintain the book's original appearance while making it functional for readers. Restorers use various techniques and materials, such as archival paper and special adhesives, to ensure that the repairs are durable and reversible. Each restoration project is unique, depending on the book's condition and historical significance, requiring careful assessment and skilled craftsmanship.
