Welcome to Preservation Books!
It’s a brave new world in publishing and Preservation Books will not be left behind. In order to bring exceptional preservation tools and information to our members, Preservation Books is on sabbatical and is researching new technologies, testing potential platforms, and re-evaluating how and what we publish.
But what does that mean? We are no longer selling books on www.preservationbooks.org. However, our best sellers and most recent titles (see the full list below) are available through Amazon.com; and our Main Street titles are available through the Downtown Research & Development Center's online store.
