MEDIA REVIEWS
Highly recommended...A welcome addition to the growing body of literature on the techniques of PRECIS indexing. It should further expand the acceptance of the system as a logical, effective solution to many of the problems of subject access. * Library Journal *
A well-produced manual...Thoroughly comprehensive... * Library Association Record *
The primer is excellent in its intellectual content and technical detail, and careful editing has made the text relatively error free. Superb layout and typography contribute to ease of use. The well-constructed index is itself a model for the application of PRECIS to back-of-the-book indexing. * Rtsd Newsletter *
