the entry on bookbinding itself. Since fa-
mous binders are included, other entries 
are biographic. Time references are often 
vague, such as originally, fonnerly, and to-
day .. Tabular information is in decimals; 
quantification data in the definitions are 
often in fractions. Lexical data are absent. 

Despite such shortcomings from any 
one specialist perspective, this volume de-
serves proper credit for pulling together 

November 1983 

and synthesizing myriad data from di-
verse sources, offering convenience for 
general reference, and a pleasing presen-
tation in legible 9 point Times Roman on 
quality paper, in a durable, practical bind-
ing. Every binder, bibliographer, conser-
vator, and reference librarian will have oc-
casion to use this tool; it is an important 
contribution.-Lawrence f. McCrank, Indi-
ana State University.

Reviews & Comments 
"library Hi Tech's inaugural issue (Summer 1983) 
shows excellent promise." 

"Congratulations on your Summer, first issue ... ./ 
learned a lot from the feature articles, largely be-
cause most of them were written in language I can 
understand. They were nearly all helpful to me and 
encouraged me to mark their bibliographies for 
further reading .... Artic/es like these -sensible, 
practical pieces based on actual experience - ... 
most of us need just this at this stage of facing the 
computer." 

-Information Retrieval & library Automation, 7/83 

"Under the expert guidance of Nancy Melin, here 
are 120 illustrated pages which deliver what the 
editor claims .... What makes the articles particular-
ly useful is the inclusion of bibliographies, often 
annotated ... .lt's hard to think of another journal 
with such wide coverage, such good writing, and 
such common sense advice for the less than ex-

-lee Ash, library Consultant 

pert who is invovled with the new technologies. 
Highly recommended." 

"library Hi Tech's first issue was great. I read it 
straight through and was exhausted by all I need to 
keep aware of. Keep it up. The profession needs it."
