The <a href="https://www.bsanz.org/" id="LPlnk" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://www.bsanz.org/">
Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand</a> (BSANZ) recently published a book that I think will be of interest to this community:
<i>Collation, Reference Notation & Statement of Signing </i>by Carlo Dumontet. I received my copy last week. Initial review reveals the publication as a solid condensation of the Fredson Bowers—Thomas Tanselle system of signature statements and reference notation.
It's billed as a workbook, and indeed has a number of exercises, but is organized to function very well as a reference source. </div>

<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; line-height: 1; margin: 16px 0px; display: block;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This workbook discusses the various techniques which can be employed in book collation writing in order to provide readers with the capacity to construct collations
and to interpret published ones. W.W. Greg's and Fredson Bowers's approach is discussed in depth, together with Thomas Tanselle's view on how to handle inserted leaves. Upon this Greg-Bowers-Tanselle bedrock other possible solutions are also discussed. The
exposition relies on a large number of examples and also on some exercises in order to render this workbook as practical a tool as possible. This workbook will be an invaluable guide for students of bibliography, early printed books cataloguers, and booksellers,
but it is hoped that all those engaged in collation-writing may find it a useful reference tool.</span></p>
