Really good for a textbook, and it made my to-read list grow EVEN LONGER. (

This was the textbook for one of my classes in library graduate school. It was a particularly time-consuming semester between classes and work so I only read a few chapters of the book before I realized it was 1) not necessary for me to read this book to keep up in class and 2) impossible for me to do all the readings necessary if I included the textbook readings as well. So I abandoned the book early on. But, based on what I did read, it seemed like a fairly useful book and I’ll keep it around as a reference tool for now. (
