This online talk by Martha Romero will be about the process she and her co-author María Ángela Silvetti followed to write Chapter 9 of the book Conservation of books, which were the main challenges, the information available about bookbinding in Latin America, the collaborators, the photographs, and the finally content of the chapter. Romero will also talk about the conclusions about regional bookbinding and research lines that are still open about the subject.
