Overly dense when it doesn't need to be and not thorough enough when it does. As far as books about records management go though, it's one of the best. Sadly, that's not saying much it seems.

Read halfway... need to finish.

A good introduction to the principles of records management. Required reading for anyone undertaking a degree in records/archive/information management and also very useful for practitioners.
