Lots of illustrations give a feeling of the books cited. It has the feeling of what it is, a textbook for library science students, and as such, jumps from topic to topic (so if your professor assigns Chapter Three it's okay if you haven't read Chapter Two). Unfortunately, this leads to occasional minor glitches: Eleanor Cameron, considered in the section devoted to realistic fiction, is not identified as the author of the Mushroom Planet books. This is something that should be mentioned briefly in passing, because her style changes so from one genre to the other, that it's easy to believe she's two different people with coincidentally identical names. Overall, a good text or a fun book to browse through. ( )
