Add to basketBooklet - Unbound Pages. Condition: Very Good. 25 pages. A reflective essay on libraries and catalogues, and the principles that should govern their arrangement. The article discusses different systems of classification and the practical needs of readers and librarians. It considers how catalogues can either obscure or reveal th…e riches of a collection. The piece advocates for order, clarity, and intellectual accessibility in the organisation of books. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Quarterly Review; Special Interest. Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on.
