Vast numbers of books need to be restored, and they increase yearly, but there is no prospect that more than a small percentage can be treated professionally and competently. Limited funds and labor need to be incorporated effectively by using sound, economical binding structures and restoration techniques, by utilizing only chemically and mechanically good materials, and by making containers for fragile items. The provision of near-ideal environmental conditions will significantly slow down future deterioration and effect immense savings. Old books should perhaps be furbished and be given very minor restorative treatment by responsible amateur-binder volunteers under supervision and by library technicians with limited duties. Both categories would also serve a vital conservation function in making protective boxes and folders.
