One longs...to know more about this man...for large academic and library science libraries. * Library Journal *
...Especially interesting are the early papers on bibliography in general...and an extensive extract from The Beginnings of Systematic Bibliography. The contents also reveal Besterman's 'rather ornery and somewhat unattractive personality'; even the tributes to him concede that he was difficult." * Journal of Academic Librarianship *
Having these pieces assembled in one volume is useful ... * Library Review *
...a lively and valuable volume...the most extensive and complete single-volume record yet assembled of Theodore Besterman's life and work. * AB Bookman's Weekly *

...an exhaustive statement of the writings and thinking of Besterman...recommended for all collections on library science and on Voltaire. * Australian Library Journal *
