I wanted to give it a good star rating because the content is great, well organized and clear. I like the case studies, too. However, this is the first and last time I'll ever buy a textbook on the Kindle. The whole bookmarking/highlighting thing is time-consuming, and there's no way to correspond with my classmates when they open up to a page number. I have to go rifiling through my chapter bookmarks because there's no clickable index. I have a take-home exam in this class, and I'm dreading the prospect of searching for content via the Kindle. I plan to keep the book (not sell it used after the class ends) so I figured I'd be able to save some money by getting the e-version, however searching through it for content after reading it is so tough that I'm not sure how usable this version is in my career. Wish I'd bought the paper version.

I depend on Peggy Johnson's Fundamentals of Collection Development in my own work and recommend it to all new and experienced selectors. I refer to it often using it in the preparation of presentations and in my work. The new edition is the most current and best written tool available in the field.

Johnson's textbook provides a good introduction to the basic concepts and trends in collection development. Highly recommended for library students.

Very informative. Scholarly. Covers all aspects of Collection Development and Management for Library Science students.

I was pleased with the quick shipment/delivery and condition of book. Price was pretty much the same as everywhere else... expensive but standard. Great buy for my collection development class.

I am very pleased with the book. It is a textbook so the content may be irrelevant to this review. It was new and arrived in mint condition.

Not much more to say than what is in the title. Excellent, well-written, on the point book.

I was very impressed with the time that it took Amazon to ship this item. I placed my order on a Friday, and I received my item the following Monday. This was with the super saver shipping! Thanks Amazon for amazing service as always. I will continue to be loyal in purchasing items from you and your sellers.
