Collection Development For Dummies

19 Nov

Last week, the director at my library mentioned that several titles in the ever-popular “For Dummies” series had mysteriously gone missing, and suggested that I order some replacement copies. Shortly thereafter, I logged into our corporate Amazon account and purchased several hundred dollars worth of books.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying particularly close attention to the specific edition of each title I was ordering.

Needless to say, I had not previously been aware that Dummies publishes special teen-tiny editions of their books. Perhaps they’re attempting to monopolize a niche by catering to the previously-untapped hobbit market.
