Frábær umfjöllun um hvernig áhugamenn um menningarverðmæti skuli bera sig að við að vernda og miðla þeim með því koma safni á laggirnar.
Farið er nákvæmlega í allan undirbúningsferilinn en um leið er þess gætt að vara við og benda lesandanum á að stofnun safns utan um merka gripi þurfi ekki alltaf að vera besta lausnin til að vernda þá og miðla verðmætunum áfram til samfélagsins.
Eini ókostur bókarinnar var, og mér fannst það vera verulegur ágalli, að myndvinnslan var hræðileg. Myndirnar virtust vera settar með sem skraut frekar en að styðja við efni bókarinnar og ekki bætti úr skák að gæði myndanna voru fyrir neðan allar hellur.
