025417Thorp Springs Press Austin TX. 1984. Octavo. 136 pages. Signed by the author on the half title page. As Paul Foreman writes: this work is worthy of the others such as Masked Gods Man Who Killed the Deer and Book of the Hopi. It is a novel of a search for gold: both the yellow gold you can hold in your hand the golden elixir of a woman's love and when in the most threatening part of the desert--water. Wellman writes: "If Melville is the great American prophet of the sea and the men who go down to the sea in ships then Frank Waters must be accorded the role of the priest of the land who has listened closest and recorded most faithfully the spirits of the land especially the Southwest." Bound in red cloth lettered and decoratively stamped in gilt spine lettering gilt near fine in near fine pictorial dust jacket. (Thorp Springs Press, Austin, TX. 1984) unknown books

In Waters Rising: Letters from Florence renowned calligrapher Sheila Waters recounts the story of the role that her husband Peter Waters 1930-2003 played as the person in charge of organizing the monumental efforts to save severely damaged books in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze National Library Florence after the devastating flood in 1966 fifty years ago. To give the most complete picture of the events that occurred initially in the recovery mission Sheila presents nearly 50 of Peter's letters written between the end of November 1966 and April 1967 in which he describes day-to-day happenings and her letters back which kept him informed about things at home and boosted his confidence when problems seemed to be overwhelming.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> In addition to these letters and Sheila's narrative diary and timeline of events Randy Silverman Head of Preservation University of Utah has written a thought-provoking introduction that puts those conservation efforts into the context of today's practices. Also Valerii P. Leonov has written an appreciation of Peter's assistance in the aftermath of a fire in 1988 that ravaged the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> The accompanying DVD features a digital remastering of Roger Hills film Restoration of Books Florence 1968.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> Waters Rising is dedicated to the people whose names appear herein and to those unnamed Mud Angels who salvaged the books that the flood waters left behind.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> In 2016 conservators around the world focused on those events that occurred 50 years ago because in many ways the work that Waters and his colleagues initiated then gave birth to modern book conservation.
