It highlights the difference between Edition 19 and 20 and the new features in the Edition 20. The book has simplified the practical application and number building procedure by providing systematic and stepwise guidance. It vividly explains the way add device is applied, the working of seven tables and special tables and the classes where the classifier has the autonomy to assign class numbers to specific documents as per local needs of the library. The book is so planned that it helps in understanding easily the nuances of both the editions of DDC. Accordingly it is useful for library community in general and students, teachers and classifiers in particular.
