I was not overjoyed by some of the editing and it seriously bothers me when I find misspelled words or poor grammar in a textbook. The topic was well researched with a page or more of resources at the end of every chapter. There is no way you could read it and not have a clear understanding of what Library Public Services are.

I haven't read any similar text books so I can't compare, but from my perspective the information is very basic. I would have thought this was for a 101 class, rather than one requiring a 101 prerequisite. Also, the authors are pretty verbose. I felt like there were more places they could have presented the information in outline format, rather than rambling paragraphs.

Very thorough and comprehensive, but verbose. Occassionally had a gem of a statement, but felt like mining to get to them.

So basic as to be virtually insulting.

Dry as a cracker; typical textbook fare. But informative and necessary! :)
