Okay this one I would sleep with under my pillow, but I need it in my office. Can't do my job without it and no registrar is complete without a tattered copy. What Walden is to environmentalist, this book is to Registrars

The Bible, evidently, for registrars. Very much a manual, but obviously quite extensive in its scope and coverage of this specific topic.

Great book for my profession. It any of you have read it, you have too much time on your hands and there is something you aren't telling me about your career path.

Not the kind of book you'd pick up and read for the fun of it, but a tremendous resource for museum professionals.
