I forgot how many issues I had with this book ugh

Jourdrey is probably many times smarter than I (likely), but our brains work in diametrically different ways.

But also, when the book says that classification numbers are only access points in an analytico-synthethic scheme is simply not true. Sure its a simpler system than LCC or DDC, but a complete classification string is an access point regardless.

I shouldn't have to supplement a textbook with another one.

I didn't fully appreciate how terrible this textbook is until I picked up a second one on the subject, for fun.

I've finally figured out what my hang-up is with this one. Its an odd mixture of details and a lack of detail at the same time.

For example, the text says that over seventy monasteries in Germany were sacked during the reformation, in nearly that many words. Then, in the next paragraph, it rattles off four names of towns or monasteries without context. I have to keep Wikipedia open to follow the threads.

I am struggling 🥲.

And also, I hate it when the protagonist has the story happen to them coincidentally.
