Another review (positive again!)
This one from Keith Trickey, lead trainer at Sherrington Sanders, in Library and Information Research 37 (2013): 66-67
Let's face it, the best you can hope for when reviewing a book on a cataloguing topic is that the item is accurate and not too boring. Ed Jones has proved a delightful exception to this experience! The author combines immense knowledge with a quirky sense of humour (which I like–see if you can detect the Monty Python examples!) to produce an excellent manual fora traditionally complex area of work...
Ed Jones has produced an excellent manual both in terms of the area it covers, the quality of the index, the level of detail provided and the way the book is written with the personality of the writer present in both his text and examples. This book will provide a secure grounding for the cataloguer moving into this area of work (or a student of cataloguing) or a bench book for a time-served serials cataloguer.
