<p>I would only amend Larry's comment to say, "Recognition <i>
in the form of awards</i> is long overdue...". I have been using my copies of Bob's books in training for years. Of particular use has been
<u>Maxwell's Guide to Authority Work</u> since it explains some of the more esoteric issues (for newer catalogers) so well, such as uniform titles and series. I know that we catalogers have been using Bob’s books and also that publishers recognize him, since
he has (apparently) been green-lighted on every subject about which he wants to write! But now, with this ABC-CLIO award, I am just so thrilled to see my friend receive such a high honor. Congratulations Bob!

<p>Recognition for Bob is long overdue. I can't comment on the book itself because I can't get it from the head of our cataloging unit! I may need to buy my own.<u></u><u></u></p>
