The paper on Hebrew book bindings, by Nicholas Pickwoad, bears the title "The Problems Presented by the Jewish Books of the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries." It was published in a conference proceedings volume:
International Conference on Conservation and Restoration of Archival and Library Materials, Erice, 22nd-29th April 1996. Edited by Carlo Federici and Paola F. Munafo, with the assistance of Daniela Costantini. Palermo: G. B. Palumbo, 1999. Vol. 1, pp. 333-345. Maria Grandinette, Head of Conservation Treatment in the Stanford University Libraries, drew my attention to this paper, which is based on Mr. Pickwoad's experience as a paper conservator working on Hebrew books in the Harvard University Library's Judaica Division.
