Dear Sri Surajit,
I have gone through your post.
As I personally feel, the RENOWNED TITLES is some what abstract in conceptual plain!.
Of course there are some unputdownable books and monographs in every subjects including LIS; like all SRR's books & especially the Prolegomena.
Like wise, as I understand, Foskett's on Subject Approach to Information is another title.
During our time B. Guha's book Documentation & Information, Services, Techniques & Systems had been extremely popular and important. As I believe, for students of Associateship of INSDOC & M.Lib.Sc during 80's this particular book was a Must!
In Precis Indexing, Derek Austin's book of same title is still a masterpiece.
For Research Methodology & Science Studies, Derek Solla Price's books Little Science Big Science & Science since Babylon are still un-parallel. so also the two books How to do Research & Theses & Dissertations published by ASLIB ( I am sorry, I can't remember the author's name instantly, and these two titles seems to be missing/misplaced from my collection!)
The multi volume Essays of an Information Scientist by Eugene Garfield is a set for cherished collection. Garfield's book Citation Indexing; its theory & application.is a masterpiece.
Tibor Bruan's books on (a) Impact Factor of Scientific Journals & (b) Evaluation of individual Scientists are some of RENOWNED Titles for people interested in Scientometrics.
T.N Rajan's book on Indexing, R.L Mittal's book on Library Administration, B. Sengupta's book Cataloguing; its theory & practice, M.L. Chakrabarty's book on Physical Bibliography are some of the extremely popular and valuable books.
In fact, Collection development & personal readings are two entirely different aspects.
Focus of interest is rather important for selection & purchase of books.
Some books are theoretical while some are practice oriented.
There are some books which offer you both.
So you can understand, the choice is yours as only you know the purpose of acquiring them.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
