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. 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.

This is a scarce Isaiah Thomas imprint. ESTC locates two copies at AAS and one each at Harvard JCB NYPL and the Library of Congress. Waters was born and died in Sutton Worcester County. According to Find a Grave he was a "Revolutionary War Veteran" serving as "Private in Capt. Andrew Elliot's company Col. Jonathan Holman's regiment that marched on September 26 1777 to reinforce the Northern Army in the battle at Saratoga NY." The Sutton Historical Society wrote about Waters: "Samuel lived what appeared to be quite an eventful and colorful life which included operating a tavern serving time in debtor's prison the result of his participation in a illconceived real estate investment and serving as an Elder with the First Baptist Church of West Sutton during the latter part of his life. . . Artifacts from the Samuel Waters Tavern have made their way to locations as far as Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. The Samuel Waters Tavern has a colorful history and if it could talk one could only imagine the long and interesting litany of stories it would tell." Evans 26434. ESTC 25992.
