The book provides a comprehensive overview of the classification of books, with a focus on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. The author discusses the history of classification systems and their development, as well as the principles and methods used in creating them. The book also covers the different types of classification systems, including those based on subject matter, form, and function. In addition, Richardson provides practical guidance on how to create and use classification systems, including tips on organizing collections, creating catalogues, and managing library resources.
