Really, is anyone allowed to say anything bad about the driest, most anal-retentive set of rules ever created? But we need it and live by it, so what can you do.
How many non-librarians would have a copy of this book in their collections? One of the things I love about my English professor husband. I think he was a librarian in a former life! Anyway, this book is his, not mine and yes, I know it's out of date! --RJM 10/11/05
The most important reference source for cataloging. I really preferred this older edition more so than the most current form, as this is actually in book form. All the current editions are in binder form so they can be more easily updated whenever something changes. I am using this book in a cataloging class for library tech degree.
This is not a book to be reviewed; it exists to communicate the AACR2 rules, and it does that. Other than that, there is not much to say. It is large. It smells good.
A great classic for cataloguers. Even clearer than previous editions.
