Developing Library and Information Center Collections by G. Edward EvansMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Trust me, this was not leisure reading.
Back in 2008, I finished my Masters in Library and Information Science (MLIS) from Rutgers University. I live in North Carolina, however, and this state requires that a collection development class must be taken in order to become a licensed public librarian. So, I enrolled at East Carolina this semester to finish this one class.
I can't believe I finally read a college textbook all the way through. I'm not sure if I have ever done that before. This book has seriously dense text, not a lot of white space, and I couldn't read it tired. But, as things things normally go, there is useful stuff in here and it is a book I will likely keep around for the day when I might actually go to work.

Cover looks different so I might have read a different edition but that sounds just like the book for my collection development class when I got my MLIS. I remember it was rough going too but as you said, useful stuff if I ever get to participate in collection development.
