I'm absolutely thrilled with the Book Conservation and Restoration course at Stanmore School of Business! As a librarian from the United States, I was looking to enhance my skills in preserving rare books. The course exceeded my expectations, providing me with hands-on experience in bookbinding, conservation techniques, and restoration methods. The instructor's expertise and the quality of the course materials were exceptional. I successfully restored a 19th-century novel, which is now a prized possession of our library. I highly recommend this course to anyone passionate about book conservation.

I found the Book Conservation and Restoration course to be quite informative and relevant to my work as an archivist in Egypt. The course content was well-structured, covering topics such as paper conservation, bookbinding, and digital preservation. I appreciated the practical examples and case studies, which helped me understand the concepts better. Although some of the course materials could be improved, overall, I'm satisfied with what I learned. I've already applied some of the techniques to conserve a collection of rare manuscripts, and the results are promising.
