Review of Barbara Schneider-Kempf, Klaus G. Saur, Peter-Klaus Schuster (eds): Wissenschaft und Kultur in Bibliotheken, Museen und Archiven. Klaus-Dieter Lehmann zum 65. Geburtstag. Red.: Martin Hollender. Munich: Saur, 2005. The essays compiled here deal with various topics in the field of museums, archives and libraries. There are academic papers as well as personal appraisals and humourous texts. Although it is a festschrift, the book is not only interesting for people who know Klaus Dieter Lehmann personally. For experts in the respective field, the individual articles perhaps will not offer much new, but the publication certainly offers reading pleasure and food for thought for librarians. One content wise point of criticism: Women are strongly underrepresented with only 9 of 63 contributions. Concerning the physical object: The typeface and the layout are pleasant, typos or misprints were not found, paper and cover are high-quality.
