Starting Right: A Basic Guide to Museum Planning (American Association for State and Local History)
I have recommended the first edition for years. The second edition is just as sound in its guidance, but more timely. (The Annals Of Iowa)For anyone not yet in the museum business,Starting Rightwill be a revelation. . . . This second edition of a fine introductory handbook answers questions many neophytes will not yet have considered. . . . This is a splendid book, enjoyable enough to take along to Starbucks for a lingering coffee. The chapters are short, and each provided with a useful reading list. The index is thorough, the illustrations relevant. Although the title suggests that the readers will be behind the scenes for the first time, many others will find it constructive. (Museline)The sensible information and practical suggestions for managing a community museum presented inStarting Rightmake this book a good starting point for that discussion.
