Book excerpt: In Maxwell's Handbook for AACR2R, the authors have included the 1993 Amendments of the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, provided all examples in the widely used MARC format, considered rule interpretations of the major Anglo-American national libraries, updated all of the chapters, and added a completely new chapter on manuscripts to correspond with AACR2R. This revision of the cataloging classic follows the easy-to-use format of the previous edition and is packed with hundreds of examples that fully explain the cataloging rules to veteran and student catalogers alike.
