This book is one of the lasting monuments of the library underground, though the contributors surely never imagined this kind of respectful archiving. Thirty years on, its mixture of wild-eyed idealism and bleary-eyed realism is still a testament of solidarity with the enthusiastic, disgruntled or just plain bolshy librarian, the sort of thing that the Association of Assistant Librarians did so well before putting on a tie and becoming the Career Development Group.
The introduction by one of the editors gives the best insight into its utopian aims and get-your-hands-dirty production. As much as possible will be reproduced here, respecting the copyright of those contributors who chose to retain it, and the "D� Copy. Do Something." exhortation for the rest. A sequel is due this summer.
