Happy World Book Day 2025! A day for the celebration of books and the joy of reading. Maybe you have a book which started you on a path to building conservation, maybe you have one you return to, or one for a deep-dive into a specialism. If you have a book on architecture, historic buildings, or building conservation which you love, we'd love it if you would comment and share it below. Thank you and happy reading.
