What an amazing book, it has the history and techniques with modern equivalents to the old fish bladder glues etc. The final chapter gives a little hint at philosophy and art history, really gets you thinking.
I got this from the library but may have to buy a copy for its usefulness as a reference book and because the chances of me covering it in gold leaf will be quite high!
