Its hard to find books on the museum field written in an engaging manner. This one isnt perfect; but getting there.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great First BookBy The Sassy CountessI am giving this a five because I think that it hits on all of the points of museums. However; I would like to add that this is really for the beginner; or for someone who just likes to read everything they can about a subject. To be honest; I opened it just enough to get my discussion board done; and even some weeks didnt open this one at all. Why? because the same information is in other books. However; I think that for someone just getting into Museum studies; this is a perfect first book.
