Selection Aids
Because of the Church's traditional position on reading and the safeguarding of faith and morals, book selection aids based on these principles were numerous. Many of these works used a code system indicating moral evaluations and suitability for different age groups. Not all works listed here are so oriented: The Catholic Bookman’s Guide (A19) and the Guide to Catholic Reading (A15) concern themselves with listing the best books for the Catholic reader. The inclusion of the Index (A45) is merely for historical purposes.
