good

I thought the service was good and I havent done much with the book yet since its my first few weeks in school but I hope I learn alot in this class.

catalogue this!

This cataloguing (so sue me, I'm Canadian, that's how we spell it) workbook contains a couple of hundred exercises for people studying library cataloguing. A wide range of mostly good examples, some of which are well known, with a bonus of AACR2 references applicable for each entry. The book suffers from some typos, which are anathema in this field, and a hefty price tag for what is essentially a book of lists. However, if you have to have it you're caught in the textbook trap anyway.
