I enjoyed EH's lively and informal manner of teaching. Also, the talks covering binding and illustrations were very informative. The combination of lecture with hands-on practice of cataloging rare books. The instructor had an excellent background and is a good teacher. He presents material in an enthusiastic and humorous manner so that even the sometimes potentially dull portions are not.
Classes are small enough to receive individual attention.
Practicum - putting it all together. EH's humor and good sense. Nice mix of generalization and practical. Very realistic approach. Material was presented in a non-mystical manner.
