Synopsis

GARBAGE! That's right, garbage. Specifically, New Jersey's garbage. And how does this relate to librarianship? In his inimitable style, Will Manley tells you this and more in his latest McFarland tome. But don't think it's all garbage. Manley gives you the Manley Maxims, flies by the seat of his pants, looks at the state of library education, remembers the jitters of the ALA placement center, questions why Library Journal abstained from Sex, sifts through the shifting sands of historical revision regarding Christopher Columbus, and recites his favorite bedtime fables and their morals.

About this title

From Booklist:

(It is Booklist policy that a book by a regular contributor receive a brief descriptive announcement rather than a recommending review.)

More from the playful Manley, this time without division into paragraphs, a justified right margin, or other niceties of design. Topics include the ALA Annual Fun Run, Daddy's Roommate, and bibliotherapy. Ray Olson

Review:

"a highly entertaining examination of the foibles, myths, and realities of our profession. More than any other contemporary library commentator, Will is generally on the mark" -- Wilson Library Bulletin

"more from the playful Manley...topics include the ALA Annual Fun Run, Daddy's Roommate, and bibliotherapy" -- Booklist/RBB
