Review

..".truly comprehensive and it is unlikely that any seeker after information will turn to it without finding what is needed... No librarian seeking to start down the road towards a new library can afford to be without this book."

"No other work in the field provides the depth of analysis available in this volume."

"The level of detail encompassed in [this book] is impressive."

"This is an essential reference work for every academic and research library, indeed any medium to large library. Because of its encyclopaedic content, the work is useful not just to those about to embark on planning a new or extended building, but also to those who must redefine facilities and services within an existing space."
