Smiraglia and Young's book does a good job of bringing together many useful references concerning an important area of music library work. The introductory historical survey and analytical essay is certainly worth having; and through its chronological arrangement the book serves as a reminder of the work of those library professionals, great and small, who have contributed to the music library landscape. * Fontes Artis Musicae *
