- The Caber Press was created to re-print long out-of-print material
or translations from my reference collection which I thought would be of
interest and value to the conservation community, and to anyone interested
in material culture.
- The scope has expanded over the years to include titles of a more general
nature, for instance, a 16th century book about making ink contained an
interesting text on making wine, so I transcribed it also and published
it without commentary to make it available as inexpensively as possible.
The Caber Press currently offers the following titles; view the New
