Abstract
THE second edition of the “Select List of Standard British Scientific and Technical Books” has been prepared by the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux, at the request of the British Council (ASLIB, 31 Museum Street, London, W.C.I. Price 2s. to “Book-List” Subscribers; 2s. 6d. to others ; 1s. to members of ASLIB or the Library Association). In the preparation of the list, the Book-List Committee consulted authorities upon every subject, so that the books may be justly regarded as representative of existing works in science and technology now available from British publishers. About three hundred books are included in the list, which is subdivided into twenty-three sections. Sections on agriculture and on medicine and surgery have been added in the revised edition. A list of publisher's addresses and a subject index are appended.
