Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-12 00:00:00 Luca Corai Montico If I never have to pick this book up again, that would be fine with me! After 3 exhaustive days of straight reading, I have finally finished it. While a lot of the information is useful, I found the text to be redundant. A lot of the issues were brought up & repeated in multiple places. In addition, I quickly tired of the mention of changes for the "future edition." It made the book feel dated, which in fact, I think it is due to the lack of emphasis the author wanted to give to certain technological aspects. Technology has revolutionized the library world more than he originally realized ...
