A Handbook to Twentieth-Century Musical Sketches
The scholarly study of autograph sources has exploded over the past quarter century especially in the field of twentieth-century music.

This book surveys the knowledge necessary to work efficiently in archives and libraries with the skills and techniques specifically related to sketch studies: transcription, reconstructing sketchbooks, deciphering handwriting, and dating documents.
