Weeding Handbook a Shelf by Shelf Guide

Weeding Handbook: A shelf-by-shelf guide by Rebecca Vnuk
 196 Pages

Okay, so this is a book only a librarian could like and not just because the author's last name sounds like a noise a stooge would make.  The book is exactly what the title says and while there isn't much information in it that we, as librarians, don't already know, it is nice to firm up and get support for our weeding efforts.  I think this would be a great book for use in a class on Collection Development because it plainly spells out the lifespan of books in a public library and to some extent in an academic library.
