"Four stars, sure, but just because it turned out to be a subject that interested me and connected to my daily work. Style-wise, it's a textbook with personality but not much artistry."
"This book doesn't at all deal with the politics behind collection development. By this I mean that it doesn't question the idea that neutrality is possible or even desirable in selection. Though it has lots of information that will help librarians in practical ways, it's a boring read on a topic that I think has the potential for deeper, exciting analysis. Additionally, both authors come from a background of working in academic libraries, and their coverage on libraries outside of this is at times weak."
