MORLEY, LINDA H., and KIGHT, ADELAIDE C. 2400 business books and guide to business literature. *$5 Wilson, H. W. 016
This is a revision of the work called “1600 business books,” compiled by Sarah B. Ball and published in 1916. It has been prepared by Linda H. Morley and Adelaide C. Kight of the Business branch of the Newark public library, under the direction of John Cotton Dana. “The sub-title ‘Guide to business literature’ is added to make it plain that the book is far more than a list of 2400 volumes. It is an index to the contents of those volumes; that is, it lists, in alphabetic order, under 2000 different headings, the subjects which are treated in these 2400 books. These headings are in addition to those entries which give the names of the writers of the 2400 books and in addition to the entries which give their titles.” (Introd.) The entries are arranged in one alphabet, with a publishers’ directory at the close.
