PRACTICAL RESTORATION REPORTS
by John Leeke, American Preservationeer

Practical Restoration Reports are a detailed technical series on preservation topics packed with practical methods you can use now. The reports contain complete descriptions of useful techniques with drawings and photos that reflect the latest developments in the field of architectural preservation. Information in each report is updated as new developments in preservation are actually used on projects around the country. These reports are based on real projects and the author's thirty years experience as a preservation tradesman and contractor. He brings that experience to work for the readers of these reports. He developed these reports in response to the needs of professionals, contractors, and homeowners for detailed and accurate information about their old and historic buildings.
