Mike Cooper adds:

It was a strange call to print such a US focussed book (it's of very little use in a prcatical UK settling).

 

I think reference services in public libraries are on their last legs, and that they'd be the primary customers for anything on Ref theory in the UK.  If I were to be asked to com e up with a title for this market it might be "Setting up and running an information service: a step by step guide".  Such a thing (and a course based on it) might sell to the various charities, local authorities, and other organisations, but I'd be hard pressed to think of who outside library schools might buy a book of "ref theory" per se.

 

Not a cheery message, I'm afraid!
