"A refreshing lack of tentativeness makes this a usable manual for hands-on practitioners. There is no ‘hemming and hawing' over matters where RDA is still a moving target and continuing to develop … Working catalogers will be able to use this manual for day-to-day practice and will find it of lasting value as a reference manual for unusual or difficult cases. It will be found useful in libraries large and small and can serve as a reassuring introduction to the cataloging of serial publications. Deft deployment of wry humor makes the book pleasantly readable."

"Highly recommended for any situation – technical service departments or library students – where serials need to be catalogued using RDA protocols."
