- 1990, Daryln Brewer, Where to find it: the indispensable sourcebook for custom repairs, master craftsmen, and hard-to-locate specialties and suppliers
- Two methods of repair are available: commercial (or invisible) restoration, in which the object is reglazed so it looks as if it was never damaged; and museum restoration, where the cracks remain visible so that one knows which pieces are original. Commercial restoration is usually twice as expensive.
