"Fascinating details are given ... illustrates that high-quality readers' advisory service is vital to satisfying and successful library customer experiences. It can serve as a justification for required readers' advisory components in a library studies curriculum, a textbook for graduate level courses in reader advisory, a handbook for library practitioners to improve knowledge and services, and a helpful resource for anyone curious about the value, purpose, and promotion of reading for all ages and interests."-VOYA
"Take my advice: Get this! ... Highly recommended for public libraries wanting to serve their readers better and as a text for the readers' advisory instruction so badly needed in our once and future library schools."-Library Journal
