Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Illustrated

I picked up this old dog-eared copy and found a couple drawings in it I probably made about 1982. This book was my occupational Bible throughout the 1980s.

1st edition, November 2005, 25 copies, white cover, regular digest size.

Trivia:

Page 6: I'm told I fell down some stairs when I was a small child in Spokane. This is a frequent dream image for me.

Page 12-13: This supposedly really happened to the brother of a friend of mine.

Page 18-19: Hey, you draw cartoons! Draw some posters for us! It'll only take a minute!

Page 20: A real knee-slapper in academic philosophy departments. I think the original art is still around here somewhere, but the felt tip is fading fast.

Page 21: The cataloger cartoon has made the rounds since it was originally published in PNLA Quarterly. I have seen it taped up on cubicle walls of catalogers from Ocean Shores, Washington to some little town in southeast Ohio. That copy of AACR2 is soon to be replaced by a new set of rules called RDA. We librarians love our acronyms.

Page 22-23: Two drawings of Wayno's character, Howie.
