Notes
Review
'A conservator's manual and reference book of the highest quality.'
Context.

'An outstanding compilation of the results of study and field experience by 20 specialists..'
Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings News

'One of the problems that beset the practical conversation of stone buildings is the fragmentation of the disciplines involved. This book, with both volumes now available as one paperback, brings these disciplines together by the involvement of contributors with different experiences and approaches to the same material.'
ASI Journal

'As a reference text, it is thorough and easily read. As a book to dip into and enjoy both the clear language and plentiful illustrations, it remains unchallenged.'
Journal of Architectural Conservation

'This book in its new combined form should rightly take its place with other standard volumes in the field.'
