The 7th edition of the Colon Classification (released in 1987) brings in many more changes than ever contained in any previous revision of this world famous classification system manyfold increase in the number of basic subjects; recognitin of the three varieties of the category matter: use of atleast five new notational symbols, and introduction of many new basic concepts, have all ushered in many complexities in the system. The book in hand aims to explain the number building techniques ----the grammar ----of the CC-7 Chosen titles are simple. Aim is to cater to the needs of the students and teachers. Though the new edition could be best under-stood in light of the CC-6, yet this cook book on CC-7 presumes not much knowledge of its previous edition. Thus this expository book on CC-7 could be used by the beginners with equal loss an profit. Hope this book contributes its modest share to perpetuate the working knowledge of India's pride, the Colon Classification.
