Synopsis
Excerpt from Book Selection
With the enormous and constantly increasing output of books, the problem of selection becomes more difficult each year. Add to that the growing tendency among authors toward specialization, the ever-widening range of types of books - from mere compilation to special pleas - the large number o books on questions of the hour, the increased practice of revising and enlarging magazine literature for book publication, and the concession must be made that the librarian who selects for the average public library - often out of reach of the books them selves - can hardly have too 'many aids, provided they are reliable and he knows how to use them with discrimination.
