Excerpt from Classified Guide to Technical and Commercial Books: A Subject-List of the Principal British and American Works in Print The object of this Guide is to group into sections and subdivisions the principal books in the English language treating of technical and commercial subjects. The growth of technical education has created a demand for books covering a wide range of technology; hitherto the inquirer has had to search through various catalogues for a book on any given subject. This Guide enables him to see at a glance all the books of any standing dealing with nearly every profession and industry. As far as possible, only books in print are given, but a few books may have gone out of print while this volume has been passing through the press. The bibliographical details refer to the latest edition of each book, and where American books are on sale in this country, the name of the British firm holding stock is given and the letters "U.S.A." designate it as an American book. Owing to the large range of subjects dealt with, it has been impossible to enter a book under more than one heading, but the index will frequently form the quickest means of tracing books on any particular subject. The year given is that appearing on the title page of the last edition and where no place is given after the publisher's name, London is understood. Subjects not dealt with in this Guide are Medicine, Law and Dentistry, but books on Pharmacy, Hygiene, Hospital and Veterinary work, Commercial and Industrial Law find a place.
