Whether you are a new museum professional or have just recently been thrown into a position of collections authority at a small museum, this book gives wonderful guidelines for handling the nitty-gritty basics of registration. It even answers the questions you didn't know you had. Reibel's collegial tone makes you feel as if you are speaking to a wise mentor who has done it all before. -- Rachel Shabica, The Textile MuseumMore details
