About this title

Review

..".a worthy successor to previous editions, building upon and improving that impressive edifice. It should sit alongside AACR2R on every serious cataloger's shelf. One comes away from it thinking that logical minds have dealt with a vast array of information, organized it, and made it easier to use."
