Abstract
Current library literature offers little advice for the selection of science books for the general public. Most articles and books concern the primary scientific literature, produced by scientists for their peers, information most useful to managers of sci‐tech libraries. The popular or general‐interest science book has apparently been overlooked by both science and general librarians. Yet this category of books is interesting and important in its own right,andopportunitiesabound for investigation into their selection and use.
