I took this book out for a class just to read a few chapters but ended up enjoying it so much I read the entire thing!!

Many of the techniques and wisdoms are obviously outdated given the publication date (I shudder to think what my man Fredson would say in his dry scathing tone about amazon print-on-demand), and to be quite honest the style and density make this a very dry read - despite its format, it really is more of a reference book. He also clearly hated librarians in the first half of the twentieth century. That being said you probably can't find someone more in touch with the field of bibliography in that time than him, and so there's a lot of interesting "state of the field" nuggets that were probably my favorite parts.
